Highwall miner update

Bens Creek Group plc (AIM:BEN), the owner of a metallurgical coal mine in North America supplying the steel industry, announces that, further to the Company's announcement on 13 January 2023, all components for a second highwall miner, unit 77 (the "HWM") from Bens Creek's highwall mining contractor Mega Highwall Mining LLC, have now arrived on site following a short delay. The HWM has been assembled and is now only awaiting completion of its electrical fit out and testing before deployment at the mine. 

Adam Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Bens Creek, commented:

'The delays in getting the equipment on site has been disappointing, however all components have now been delivered and the HWM has been re-assembled on site. We are looking forward to having two highwall miners up and running in the near future. We remain very confident about the future prospects of the business.'
