Production Start...
During the third quarter of 2022, the Peabody initiated the redevelopment of its North Goonyella Mine, a premium hard-coking coal longwall operation.

The Peabody`s board of directors has approved redevelopment expenditures of $120 million for 2023, which include ventilation, equipment, conveyance and infrastructure updates in anticipation of reaching development coal, subject to regulatory approvals, in the first quarter of 2024. Development costs in addition to the current approved amount are estimated to be $240 million, with longwall operations expected to commence in 2026.

Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


Summary:

Queensland's coals range in age from Carboniferous, 350 million years (Ma) in age, to Tertiary (65 Ma). The commercially significant black coals are restricted to deposits within sedimentary basins of Permian (280 Ma), Triassic (250 Ma) and Jurassic (200 Ma) age, located mainly in the central and eastern portions of the state.

The coal deposits of Permian age are by far the most commercially important. Of the State's black coal inventory totalling in excess of 30 billion (x109) tonnes (measured and indicated resources), Permian coals account for approximately 75% of the total resources, including almost 100% of the coking coal and about 60% of the thermal coal resources. Permian coals within the Bowen Basin in central Queensland account for approximately 70%, of the State's coal inventory while Mesozoic coals found mainly in the Clarence-Moreton, Surat, Callide and Tarong basins make up the remainder. Shallow coal potentially amenable to open-cut mining makes up about 55% of the inventory, with the remaining 45% present at greater depths.

The most important Permian coal basin is the Bowen Basin, which is exposed in a large, triangular-shaped area of central Queensland, 600km long and up to 250km wide. The basin extends south in the sub-surface beneath Mesozoic sediments of the Surat Basin, and connects with the Gunnedah and Sydney Basins in New South Wales.

Along the structurally disturbed north-eastern edge of the Bowen Basin, the coals range ........


Mining Methods

  • Longwall


Summary:

North Goonyella mine is an underground longwall mine. It produces a high strength coking coal for export, utilising longwall top coal caving methodology.

North Goonyella Mine experienced a fire in 2018 which resulted in the suspension of mining operations. In 2020, the Peabody commenced a review of strategic alternatives for North Goonyella. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company initiated the redevelopment of its North Goonyella Mine. The project will utilize substantial existing infrastructure and equipment at the mine, including a new 300-meter longwall system, a coal handling preparation plant, a dedicated rail loop for transport to the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal.
