The remaining proceeds are related to the sale of select tenements held by the Coppabella-Moorvale joint venture and are subject to approval by the joint venture partners and other conditions. The transactions include the Olive Downs South, Olive Downs South Extended, Willunga and Olive Downs North tenements, which consist of 165 million tons on a net basis to Peabody.
