The Blair Athol mine operation producing thermal coal for export primarily to Japan South Korea for their power generation markets and to India for the sponge iron market Recently announced Moorlands development project will see Blair Athol utilised as a processing precinct for many decades to come
1 Phase 1 run of mine ROM coal scalped at site and resulting 2Mtpa ex discard ROM coal transported to the Vele Colliery for further processing to yield of hard coking coal and of export quality thermal coal Phase 2 4Mtpa of ROM coal yielding of saleable hard coking and export quality thermal coal Resources
The total investment on the Talaipalli coal mine project is estimated to be approximately £329m Mtpa of coal over an estimated mine life of 52 years Although NTPC awarded a mine development and operations contract to a consortium of NCC and BGR Mining in November 2017 it was terminated later in July 2019 due to corruption
Proven coal reserves in the Kriel Coalfield are the No 2 4 and 5 seams but only the No 4 seam is economically extracted The coal is ranked as low grade bituminous steam coal and the depth of the coal seam ranges from 6 m to 85 m below the ground All coal historically and currently produced is dedicated to the Kriel Power station
The Lithgow Seam within the lower Illawarra Coal Measures which has an average thickness of m is the target coal seam at Airly Mine The topology of Airly Mine is dominated by Mount Airly and Genowlan Mountain
Many researchers have studied different environmental impacts of coal mines Duarte et al 2019; Dutta et al 2020; Nordin et al 2018; Silva et al 2021 Wu et al 2022 analyzed different underground mining technologies in coal mines by applying the life cycle assessment method The results showed that pillar free mining has the lowest environmental
Coal miner MC Mining s updated life of mine LoM plan and coal reserve estimate for its fully licensed and shovel ready Makhado steelmaking hard coking coal project has demonstrated a

The Aquila mine extends the life of Anglo American s existing Capcoal underground operations by seven years after the company s nearby Grasstree mine reached its end of life An underground longwall operation at Grasstree is replaced by Aquila
The remaining mine life for OCC is approximately 32 years " In 2014 the mine was producing million tonnes of saleable coal Now it produces million tonnes of run of mine coal Underground mining commenced in July 1989 with longwall operations established at Oaky No 1 Mine in 1990 Development work for a second underground longwall
The beginning of any mining project begins with the exploration stage; it s where the magic happens Companies enlist geologists and others to understand the characteristics of the land and prospect remote areas in search of mineral deposits Methods such as geological surface mapping sampling and geochemical analysis are often applied at an

The project will mine million tonnes Mt of metallurgical coal from underground operations and Mt from open cut operations until 2055 If approved the project is expected to commence construction in January 2025 and be operational by December 2028
Coppabella Mine is part of Coppabella Moorvale Joint Venture CMJV mines which includes the Coppabella Mine and the Moorvale Mine The CMJV produces a range of products including pulverized coal injection coal coking coal and thermal coal
The stability of coalmine overburden dumps is a crucial aspect and often requires a slope stabilization method in place to prevent slope failures Mechanical methods like benching gabion wall construction geogrid reinforcement and biological methods like the use of vegetation can suffice the need for slope stabilization In this study a life cycle assessment of
