Yancoal completes acquisition of additional Moolarben Joint Venture stake

Yancoal Australia Ltd (Yancoal) announced the completion of its acquisition of an additional 3.75% stake in the Moolarben Joint Venture (MJV). This transaction increases Yancoal's economic interest in the MJV to 98.75%. The effective economic interest date for this acquisition is 1 January 2025, allowing Yancoal to immediately consolidate attributable production and revenue from this low-cost, tier-1 asset into its financial results.

This sum comprises an initial A$25 million cash payment made on completion, with the remaining A$85.5 million to be paid through coal price-linked quarterly instalments over a five-year period. The purchase will be funded by Yancoal's existing cash holdings and future operating cash flows. This strategic move was initially announced on 18 July 2025.
