Cokal Limited (ASX:CKA) shares were trading higher during the 10 November 2026 session, up 9.38% at $0.035 at midday AEDT. The S&P/ASX 200 was also higher in the same session, up 1.13% at 9,131.90 around 12:30 pm AEDT. Cokal holds interests in four metallurgical coal projects in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, along with a logistics subsidiary. Its most recent update was the Quarterly Report for the three months to 30 September 2026, released on 30 October 2026, which covered amendments with its financing partner and a constrained production period at Bumi Barito Mineral.

About the company

Cokal is an Australian-listed company with the objective of becoming a metallurgical coal producer with a global presence. It holds interests in four projects in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, including 60% of Bumi Barito Mineral and 75% of Tambang Benua Alam Raya, and owns 100% of Barito Samudera Nusantara, its logistics arm providing coal hauling and barging.

Quarterly report released on 30 October 2026

Mining activity at Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) was significantly constrained during the quarter while the company awaited Phase 2 RKAB approval, which was received in mid-September 2026. Activity was limited to maintenance and preservation work, and production remained at a minimal level. No coal sales were recorded in the quarter.

Cash at the end of the quarter was US$193,000, with undrawn facilities of US$2.56 million. Operating cash outflow was US$604,000, and mine development spending was US$249,000. The company estimated about three quarters of funding available.

Loan and Marketing agreement amendments

BBM and International Commodity Trade Pte Ltd agreed to amend their Capital Participation Agreement. The US$20 million Capital Sum repayment was extended from 15 January 2027 to 15 January 2030, and monthly fees for specified periods were deferred to 1 January 2028, with 10% interest accruing. The amended Coal Marketing Agreement sets a minimum quantity of the first 20 million tonnes of BBM coal marketed through ICT.

Operations restart and logistics

Mining was set to recommence in October 2026 after preparatory works, and hauling resumed the same month. The next shipment is tentatively scheduled for mid-November 2026, subject to river conditions, as low water levels along the Barito River have constrained barge movements across the region. Road upgrades with Petrosea are progressing from Krajan Jetty to Pit 3 and to KM52.

Sector Context

Seaborne metallurgical coal prices strengthened in the third quarter, with the Platts premium low-volatile hard coking coal benchmark rising US$28.60 per tonne to US$272.10 per tonne at the end of September. The company noted that this benchmark may not be directly representative of its own product classification or realised selling prices. Dry weather affecting Central Kalimantan river transport has also delayed shipments for multiple coal producers.

Risks to Consider

Shipments depend on river conditions, and the next sale has been delayed from earlier expectations.
The company had minimal cash at quarter end and relies on undrawn facilities and Loan arrangements to fund operations.
Changes to Indonesia’s Mining regulatory framework remain a Factor affecting production planning.

What to Watch Ahead

The mid-November shipment and whether river conditions allow it to proceed.
Production levels at BBM following the restart of mining in October 2026.
Progress on the domestic coal deliveries scheduled for the end of 2026.

Final Word

Cokal’s latest quarterly update outlines a period of constrained production followed by a restart of mining and hauling. The timing of the next shipment and the level of output in the coming months will shape the company’s position.
