Due to the capacity of its mines to produce high-calorie coals, KPC was able to sell at US$ 63.17 per tonne. This price was calculated on the average KPC product prices, which comprise of three kinds:
  • Prima, which is an excellent quality coal high energy, low ash, medium sulfur and low moisture
  • Pinang: similar to Prima, but higher moisture.
  • Melawan: sub-bitumenous coal with low sulfur and ash, high in moisture.
