Managing Director of Whitehaven Coal Paul Flynn Horizon chief executive Andreas Bezos has accused the Albanian government of stoking inflationary pressures after his company failed to meet a unitary cost target and its $6.4 billion move to Queensland was held up by a rail dispute with Horizon.
Unit costs at Whitehaven mines in New South Wales have risen 11 per cent over the past year to $114 a tonne – excluding the cost of royalties payments to governments – despite the company selling more coal.
