"Our third quarter results show five quarters of consecutive growth," commented Ian Robinson, Chief Financial Officer of L&L. "This quarter's strong earnings were bolstered by our two newly acquire mines, Luozhou and Lashu, ramping up their production ahead of schedule. The two new mines have reached their approved capacities and with all our mines fully operational, we were able to surpass our record earnings and production numbers from last quarter."
Mr. Robinson continued saying, "Our wholesale segment also recorded solid growth this quarter as L&L increased shipments to Datang Power under the previously increased contract, signed in October 2012."
L&L's Vice President and Director Clayton Fong summarized, "Last quarter, the five mines we currently own produced at an annual rate of 900,000 tons. Organically they are targeted to grow 100% between now and 2015. We also expect significant growth in our wholesale and washing operations in the next few years. That growth could increase even higher with a few additional acquisitions. We continue to look at opportunities in Guizhou province and have begun looking at even larger mines in Sanxi and Inner Mongolia. With our business running well, I am very pleased how well positioned we are. The future is bright. "
