Wesfarmers Limited announced production results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013. For the quarter, the company reported total coal production was 2,940,000 tonnes (comprising 2,028,000 tonnes of metallurgical coal and 912,000 tonnes of steaming coal), 3.9% higher than the previous quarter due to improved plant performance during the quarter. Metallurgical coal production increased by 1.3% and steaming coal production increased by 10.1% compared to the previous quarter.

For the year, the company's metallurgical coal production decreased 5.7% to 7,542,000 tonnes, reflecting the impact of significant wet weather associated with Cyclone Oswald in early 2013 which interrupted rail and port activities.
