Yankuang Energy Group Company Limited disclosed that its controlled overseas subsidiary, Yancoal Australia Limited, recorded year-on-year declines across key operating indicators for the first quarter of 2026, according to the operational data filed with the Australian Securities Exchange and Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 20 April 2026.

Yancoal Australia’s saleable coal production (attributable basis) fell 5% to 9.00 million tonnes, compared with 9.50 million tonnes in the first quarter of 2025. Correspondingly, saleable coal sales dropped 2% to 8.20 million tonnes from 8.40 million tonnes a year earlier.

Pricing also came under pressure: the average realised price declined 7% to AUD 146.00 per tonne, versus AUD 157.00 per tonne in the prior-year period.

The figures were released as part of a voluntary announcement by Yankuang Energy and reflect operating trends at its key Australian coal asset during the opening quarter of 2026. Yankuang Energy’s board emphasised that investors seeking additional detail should consult Yancoal Australia’s full report available on the ASX and HKEX websites.
