PERTH, Feb 5 - Australia's Ensham Resources Pty Ltd, a thermal coal producer with output of about 9 million tonnes per year, has declared force majeure on some of its shipments due to a rail line closure, a company source said.
A key line in Queensland state that services miners, including Xstrata Coal (XTA.L), Felix Resources FLX.AX, and Rio Tinto Coal Australia (RIO.AX)(RIO.L) has been closed following a derailment due to stormy weather, according to rail line operator Queensland Rail.
