Coal Seams of Economic Interest - Rangal Coal Measures.
Average coal seam thickness (meters): 1.5 - 6.5.
Mining Methods
- Truck & Shovel / Loader
- Dragline
Summary:
Curragh is a production-stage mining property that consists of two active, open-pit, surface mines (Curragh North and Curragh Main). Coal mine development at the Curragh property is presently accomplished by surface mining methods and has been so historically since the mine’s inception. Curragh coals are widely known for their low ash, low to mid volatile matter, low sulfur and low phosphorous content.
Curragh operates four large electric draglines, one large electric shovel and a fleet of smaller contractor excavators. Contractors are employed for the pre strip, post strip and coal mining activities.
Processing
- Wash plant
- CHPP
- Dense media separation

Summary:
Curragh’s operating infrastructure has significant production capacity and its operations are well served by major port facilities and rail transport infrastructure:
–a 20 km overland conveyor links Curragh North’s ROM and crushing circuits to the CHPP and is one of the Southern Hemisphere’s longest single flight conventional conveyors;
–two CHPPs provide extensive coal washing capacity and flexibility;
–circa 310 km kilometers from Gladstone Port with throughput capacity at RG Tanna Coal Terminal and Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal.
