Summary:

Meandu Coal Mine is located in the late Triassic Age (~200-220 Ma) Tarong Basin approximately 200 km north west of Brisbane, Queensland. A thermal product coal is produced from three main seams in the Tarong Beds to supply Stanwell Corporation’s Tarong Power Station (TPS) (Simmons, Edwards and Ferdinands, 2013). The Tarong Beds coal measures consist of thick coal seams which are interlayered with fine grained clay, quartz-rich or iron-rich stone bands of variable thickness within a sedimentary package of conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones and mudstone. Pegrem (1995) previously classified the coal from the Tarong Beds as high ash, low volatile, low sulphur steaming coal with weak coking properties. There are three main seams being mined at Meandu Mine, namely Ace, King and Queen. The seams increase in ash content with stratigraphic depth (Young, 2013). As the coal at Meandu Mine is not able to be easily “free dug” it is blasted in order for it to be mined.

Summary:

Work first began on Meandu Mine in the South Burnett in 1978 after the Queensland Government made the decision to go ahead with the construction of the adjacent Tarong Power Station. The mine is 25 kilometres south-east of Kingaroy in the Queensland South Burnett region. In 1984, the mine began regular deliveries to the power station using a 1.5 kilometre conveyor, increasing supply to Tarong Power Station as more generators were commissioned. Meandu Mine currently has five working pits and is capable of supplying the adjacent Tarong Power Stations with up to seven million tonnes of coal a year. Meandu Mine is an open-cut coal mine in the South Burnett, owned by Stanwell and operated by BUMA Australia, under strict safety and environmental conditions. Located in the South Burnett, the mine supplies black thermal coal to the adjacent Tarong power stations. Coal at Meandu is mined from three gently dipping seams, varying in thickness from two-to-twenty metres. The two principal seams occur at an average depth of 30 and 60 metres respectively. K2E Project The K2E Project is a brownfield development. The new activities for the K2E Project comprise mining in an additional surface area (ASA) to the east of the K2E pit. Mining in the proposed K2E ASA will be conducted using the same mining equipment types as currently used. This includes open cut mining with a dragline and truck and excavator fleets. Key associated activities to be undertaken as part of the K2E Project within t ........
