Summary:

The Callide Mine is located in the Callide Basin of Central Queensland, approximately 20km north of Biloela and 85km south-west of Gladstone.

Curently Batchfire operates three major mining areas of Dunn Creek, Trap Gully and Boundary Hill South.

The Boundary Hill South is located within the Callide Basin, which is a fault bounded synclinal basin of Middle to Upper Triassic age. The Callide Basin is approximately 22km long and 8km wide, and is aligned generally along a north-west to south-east axis.

The geology of the Boundary Hill South area includes the following strata:
• Quaternary alluvium associated with creeks;
• Biloela Formation;
• Precipice Sandstone;
• Callide Coal Measures;
• Triassic Muncon basement volcanics.

The Callide Coal Measures are the primary resource of economic significance at the Boundary Hill operation.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader
  • Dragline


Summary:

Batchfire‘s mining operations are delivered by open-cut strip mining methods using draglines for primary overburden removal, supported by up to eight excavators and Rear Dump truck fleets for pre-stripping, coal mining, and partings removal.

The company has two active draglines, with one dedicated to Boundary Hill Mine and the other dedicated to the Southern Operations.

The Callide Mine consists of four mining areas: Boundary Hill, Trap Gully, The Hut, and Dunn Creek.

The location and infrastructure of these areas allow Trap Gully, The Hut, and Dunn Creek to function as an integrated operation known as the Southern Operations. The Boundary Hill mining area is located to the northwest and shares resources with Southern Operations.

Batchfire produces an average of 11 million tonnes per year of ultra-low sulfur energy coal.

This outstanding product is considered the lowest fugitive emission energy coal mined anywhere in Queensland.
