Coal Operations

Delivering energy at scale to domestic power stations and export markets.

  • Our assets

Underground mining operations

Large -scale opencast operations

Coal processing and beneficiation plants 

Export and rail logistics systems

Rehabilitation operations

Water treatment facilities

  • An energy system in motion

Our operations don’t begin at the coal face and they don’t end when coal leaves the site. They move through a connected cycle.

Every stage of this system is governed by a Zero Harm approach to safety.

Exploration & Planning

Understanding the resource before mining begins.

Drilling and analysis inform mine design, sequencing and long-term development.

Access & Extraction

Opening access to coal through opencast and underground methods.

From draglines and shovels to continuous miners — extraction is controlled, precise and scaled.

Processing & Beneficiation

Preparing coal for use.

Crushing, screening and washing ensure consistent, specification-grade product for domestic and export markets.

Transportation & Delivery

Moving coal efficiently to where it’s needed.

Truck, conveyor and rail systems connect mines to power stations and export infrastructure.

Rehabilitation & Closure

Restoring land as mining progresses.

Rehabilitation is continuous, not an end-stage activity.

Water Stewardship

Managing water as part of operations.

Treatment, recycling and reuse reduce environmental impact and support long-term sustainability.
