Summary:

Approximately 17km north-east of Boggabri in the Gunnedah Basin, New South Wales.

The Gunnedah Basin is a structural trough in north-eastern New South Wales, forming the middle part of the larger Sydney - Bowen "structural" Basin, which extends for 1700 km along the eastern margin of Australia from central Queensland in the north to the edge of the continental shelf in south-eastern
New South Wales. The Gunnedah Basin roughly occupies the northern two thirds of the New South Wales portion of the Sydney Bowen Basin. It is bounded by a regional unconformity surface over the Lachlan Fold Belt to the west and by the New England Fold Belt to the east along the Hunter - Mooki Fault System, and is continuous with the Bowen Basin to the north. Until recently, the subsurface eastern extent of the Gunnedah Basin beneath the overthrust complexes was not known. The basin contains sediments of Permian and Triassic age.

The Gunnedah Basin contains up to 1200 m of marine and non-marine Permian and Triassic sediments resting unconformably upon Early Permian (and possibly Late Carboniferous) silicic and mafic volcanics, which form the effective basement for the basin east of the Rocky Glen Ridge. Metavolcanics and metasediments and minor ignimbritic volcanics of the Lachlan Fold Belt form much of the basement underneath the western part of the Gunnedah Basin.

The mafic and silicic basement volcanic rocks in the east include the Werrie Basalt and the Boggabri Volcanics, with subordinate intercalated fine-grained sediments. Outcrops of the basement volcanic rocks form the Boggabri Ridge, a longitudinal structure along the eastern side of the basin most prominent between Gunnedah and north of Boggabri.

North of the Liverpool Range, the Permo-Triassic sequence is unconformably overlain by Jurassic sediments of the Surat Basin, a sub-basin of the Great Australian Basin, and the Gunnedah Basin sequence crops out as a narrow north-north-westerly trending zone from south of Quirindi to north of Narrabri. Outcrop is generally poor In the east the Permo Triassic sequence is largely eroded or covered by thick Quaternary alluvium.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader
  • Dragline


Summary:

Boggabri Coal Mine (BCM) is an open cut coal mine with the option of a dragline located 15 km north-east of the township of Boggabri in north-western New South Wales (NSW). BCM is managed by Boggabri Coal Operations Pty Ltd (BCOPL), which is majority owned by Idemitsu Australia Resources Group (IAR), a subsidiary of Japanese company Idemitsu Kosan Pty Ltd.

Truck and excavator operations produce a crushed and screened export quality thermal coal and pulverised coal injection product.

Processing

  • Wash plant

Summary:

Following extraction, Run of Mine (ROM) coal is processed in a Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) and the resultant product is stockpiled prior to being conveyed to an on-site train load out facility, where it is dispatched via rail to the Port of Newcastle and exported for overseas consumption. The train load out facility and associated rail spur have been operating since early 2015, replacing road transport of product coal between the Mine Infrastructure Area (MIA) and former train loading facility located 17 km to the west of the mining lease, which was previously referred to as the Boggabri Coal Terminal (BCT). The CHPP has also been operating since 2015 and runs in conjunction with crushing and grinding facilities commissioned at the site in 2006.

The CHPP comprises a 1500 tonne per hour capacity bypass crusher and a 500 tonne per hour capacity Coal Processing Plant (CPP) feed crusher. Product coal is transferred to the product stockpile utilising two slewing an ........
