Peabody Energy (BTU) on Tuesday confirmed that it is exploring a potential partial sale of its Centurion coal mine in Australia.
During its Q1 earnings call, company executives said they had received a "robust response" to initial outreach efforts but emphasized that no decision had been made regarding a sale.
The Australian Financial Review in March reported that bankers from MA Moelis had contacted Asian steelmakers, traders, and offtakers about a minority interest in the 4.3 million-tonnes-a-year Centurion Mine, which began production last year following a redevelopment.
Shares of Peabody were up nearly 7% in recent trading.
