AUSTRALIAN COAL
Japan Places Big Order (N Z. Press Association) BRISBANE, Dec. 27. Japanese steel mills had placed an order for £lOO million worth of coal from the Moura field in Queensland, the State’s Transport Minister (Mr Gordon Chalk) said yesterday. He said long-term contracts had been signed on Christmas Eve between the Thiess-Pea-body-Mitsui Company, which operates the Moura field, and several of Japan's biggest steel mills. The contracts guaranteed that the Japanese mills would take 296,600,000 long tons, worth more than £lOO million, over the next 13 years. Mr Chalk recently visited Japan, where he addressed Japanese steel officials on the possibilities of using the coal from Moura.
