July 25 (Reuters) - Australia's Whitehaven Coal WHC.AX on Friday reported an almost 9% rise in production for the fourth quarter on the back of resilient performance in its New South Wales mines.
The country's top independent coal producer reported managed run-of-mine (ROM) coal production of 10.6 million metric tons for the three months ended June 30, compared to 9.7 million tons posted a year ago.
