What the public record can tell you

Completion dates and announcement dates can differ. Prices may cover several mines, a partial interest, a company or an integrated materials business. Cash, shares, deferred payments and maximum contingent payments remain separate; we do not convert these into a guessed cash sale price or current valuation.

Each record links to its evidence. A publisher “sold” label is not independent settlement evidence. Undisclosed amounts and dates stay undisclosed. Coverage is the public set researched so far, not every private sale in Australia. Register source snapshots and historical sales do not establish present ownership.

New research checked 14 October 2026: Whitehaven’s Blackwater/Daunia acquisition and subsequent 30% Blackwater sale. Earlier records retain their prior review dates. Submit a public source or correction →
