TerraCom Resources Ltd. began coal production at its Blair Athol coal mine in Queensland, Australia, and the operation will continue to ramp up to an annualized run rate of 2 million tonnes in the fourth quarter.

The mine is also on track to deliver first coal sales this month, according to an Aug. 15 release. In the first six months, coal sales will be transported to a nearby train loading facility.

TerraCom subsidiary Orion Mining Pty. Ltd. completed the acquisition of Blair Athol in May.
