Pike River celebrates milestone

Pike River has celebrated a milestone event with its first export shipment of 20,000 tonnes of premium hard coking coal.

The shipment in February 2010 from Port Lyttelton to Bedi Port in India, went to Gujarat NRE - one of Pike River's life-of-mine customers.

Minister of Energy, Hon Gerry Brownlee joined Pike River directors in marking the event.
