Stockton is the largest opencast mine in New Zealand.
Stockton is an open cut mine producing low-ash metallurgical coal that is exported overseas for use in steelmaking.
A key focus for FY23 is to develop the Hope Lyons block, which has progressed well and is ahead of schedule. This pit has performed well, recording production of close to 100,000 tonnes of coal in FY23.
Key project focus areas for FY24 are: - Continued drilling and development of the Rockies North pit. This pit is an extension of the currently mined area. - Development of the Cypress South pit. Project focus will be on infill drilling for refinement of coal structure, vegetation stripping, and water management structure, with coal winning expected in FY24. |
