Mining

The mine is being developed at a rate to match sales.

The mine is being developed at a rate to match coal sales. Because of the low strip ratio in the initial years, mine production can be easily increased.

Once mined, the selectively mined coal was then trucked from the mine to the coal wash plant site located 600 meters away.

Transportation of coal is always an issue for customers and the company. Coal is transported from the site via 42 tonne Highway B-Train Trucks.  The Company is working with local transportation companies to ensure that the most efficient mode of transportation is utilized to minimize costs.
