Not only that, but those prices are 2007. PRB coal was shipped to Canada in 2007 for 38 dollars a ton. It is very desirable as it has low sulfur. (below 0.5%).

Indonesian Steam coal sold for $39.00 a ton in 2007. It now has a price of $75 for the same calorific value as the GXS coal.

Today the prices might be closer to $75.00. GXS has to compete in that their coal may be higher sulfur, (about 1%) so they may have to sell closer to $60.00 a ton. However they can get benefit by building a power plant and desulfurizing the coal themselves.

Until we know the actual grade of the greater part of the coal deposit, and stable prices, pricing is just guesswork.
