    Frequently Asked Questions

    Whitehaven listed on the ASX on 1 June 2007.

    Whitehaven paid twice-yearly dividends between 2009 and 2012 before stopping its payouts. It resumed paying dividends in 2017 until 2020. The company did not pay out a dividend in 2021 after it posted a net loss after tax.

    However, soaring coal prices saw the Whitehaven Coal share price rocket in 2022 and the company reinstated its dividends, paying an interim dividend of 8 cents a share, unfranked, and a final dividend of 40 cents a share, fully franked.

    About Whitehaven Coal Ltd

    Whitehaven Coal Ltd (ASX: WHC) is an Australia-based coal miner that exports high-quality thermal coal (primarily used to generate electricity) and metallurgical coal (primarily used for steel making) from Australia to Asia.

    Its main focus is in the Gunnedah Basin in northwest New South Wales, where it operates four mines - three open cut and one underground. Additionally, it has approval to construct an open-cut coal mine at Vickery, 25km north of Gunnedah, and also has plans for another open-cut mine at Winchester South in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.

    Coal is railed to ports in Newcastle for export to Asian customers.

    The Whitehaven Coal share price hit an all-time high in October 2022 on the back of record coal prices.
