*As of 30 June 2024
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Burton Mine Complex is a hub and spoke model where multiple mines serve one central CHPP to reduce significant development costs.
The Burton Mine Complex is located approximately 160km west of the major coastal city of Mackay, and around 50km south of Bowen’s Hillalong Project in the northern part of the Bowen Basin.
Burton is an open-cut coal mine which contains three undeveloped open pit deposits with total Coal Resources of 110Mt, Coal Reserves of 16Mt and substantial infrastructure, including the Burton Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) and the Mallawa Train Loadout (TLO) with a total replacement value of more than A$300m. Lenton is an adjacent undeveloped open-cut project with total Coal Resources of 140Mt and Coal Reserves of 19Mt. Broadmeadow East is a satellite pit, some 20kms to the south of the Burton CHPP with Coal Resources of 32Mt and Coal Reserves of 3Mt.
* As of 30 June 2023
ONE CENTRAL CHPP, THREE MINING AREAS
ELLENSFIELD SOUTH MINE
Exploring options to increase production targets of higher yielding coking coal at lower strip ratios. Four excavators now in operation.
First coal mined
August 2023
Annual ROM production target
2.0 - 2.4Mt
BROADMEADOW EAST PIT
Mine plan has been optimised. Opencut mining paused at Broadmeadow East in May 2024 due to the close proximity (300m standoff) to a powerline traversing the Mine. Plans to relocate the powerline to the southern end of the mining lease have been finalised but await an economic solution from Powerlink. Efforts are underway to secure an economic solution.
