On September 7, the Chinese government announced that China Coal Group's subsidiary China Coal Export and Import Co., Ltd has received all official approvals to cooperate with Australia-based Metrocoal Ltd for the Surat Basin exploration and development project in South East Queensland. The Chinese company holds the controlling share (51 percent) in the project following an agreed expenditure commitment of AU$30 million.
