Summary:
Coal is extracted utilizing six continuous miners. ROM coal is transported to a skip hoist by conveyor belts, where the coal is then lifted to the surface for processing at the CPP. Two underground bunkers allow storage of up to 5,400 tonnes of coal, managing the flow of coal both from the face and to the coal CPP.

Summary:
Coal processing:
– ROM coal is transported to a skip hoist by conveyor belts, where the coal is then lifted to the surface for processing at the CPP
– Two underground bunkers allow storage of up to 5,400 tonnes of coal, managing the flow of coal both from the face and to the coal CPP
- ROM coal is washed in a CPP that has a nameplate capacity of 1,270 raw tonnes per hour (TPH). ROM coal processed through the CPP has an average yield of approximately 67%.
- Coal is then loaded on the NS rail on a FOR basis and customers arrange for access to rail and port capacity.
