CS Energy 100 % Indirect
Kogan Creek Mine is owned by Aberdare Collieries Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of CS Energy.

Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


Summary:

The mine has a shallow overburden thickness and coal starts at approximately 12–15 metres below the surface. The three main seams of coal – M, N and O – have a total thickness of 12 metres and dip gently to the south west. The coal sits in relatively flat 0.1 metre to 3metre thick seams with parting layers of rock and clay between each coal seam.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

During the first stage of mining at Kogan Creek, the area to be mined is inspected for items of Cultural Heritage, before and after the removal and storage of topsoil. Next is the removal of overburden, which is the soil, clay and rock sitting above the coal seams.

This overburden is then removed using 250 tonne excavators that dig up to 15 cubic metres in each bucket and load 150 tonne Terex MT3300 haul trucks. These trucks move the overburden to the spoil dump via ramps. These spoil dumps progressively refill the void after the coal has been mined, allowing for the rehabilitation of the land.

The mine has a shallow overburden thickness and coal starts at approximately 12–15 metres below the surface. The three main seams of coal – M, N and O – have a total thickness of 12 metres and dip gently to the south west. The coal sits in relatively flat 0.1 metre to 3metre thick seams with parting layers of rock and clay between each coal seam. The coal is selectively mined from the parting using 12 cubic metre front end loaders and smaller 90 tonne Komatsu HD785 haul trucks which transport the coal to the Run of Mine pad, where it is loaded into the crusher and conveyed directly to the power station. The waste parting bands are hauled to the spoil dump.

The overburden produced at the mine is dumped as spoil and used to fill the previous pit void where coal was recently removed. These overburden spoil dumps are gradually shaped into hills about 30 metres high and revegetated with local grasses, trees and shrubs to form a natural habitat.


Crushing and Grinding


Processing

  • Crush & Screen plant

Summary:

The coal transports to the Run of Mine pad, where it is loaded into the crusher and conveyed directly to the Kogan Creek Power Power Station via a four kilometre overland conveyor. The waste parting bands are hauled to the spoil dump.

The high quality of the Kogan Creek coal eliminates the need for pre-treatment such as washing.
