It seems that Xstrata has arrived with the defibrilator in timely fashion for the Coal industry delivering positive news for an Aussie resource reeling from muted and proven cutbacks.

Speaking at the miner’s half year earnings presentation in London, Xstrata Coal CEO Peter Freyberg stated that “the market probably bottomed about a month ago and there’s been steady improvement over the last four or five weeks”.
