Baralaba North

The Baralaba North Mine is located approximately 5km north of the township of Baralaba. It is an open-cut operation utilising truck and excavator method. Current production levels at Baralaba North are approximately 2 Mtpa.
The coal produced is mainly Ultra Low Volatile Pulverised Coal Injection (ULV PCI) product used in steel making.
Mining operations are performed by Golding Contractors with approximately 400 employees on site.
The extracted coal is crushed and screened onsite and stockpiled ready for haulage to our train loadout (TLO) facility, located 2km east of Moura.
Product coal is then railed to the Port of Gladstone for export to international customers.

Baralaba South

The proposed south project will represent a continuation of our mining activities in the Baralaba region, producing approximately 2 Mtpa.
Baralaba's intentions are to continue mining at the current North Baralaba site and then transition to Baralaba South, effectively extending the life of the coal mining operations in the area by around 20 years.
The mining activity is proposed to occur within an area of approximately 2,214 hectares covered by Mining Lease Application (MLA) 700057.
The Environmental Impact Statement for the Baralaba South Project was submitted to the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation on 19 December 2023 and will be open for public comment from 4 March 2024 to 1 May 2024. Click on the title above to access all documents.

Pit to port

Once extracted, our coal travels from our processing plant on site to our train loadout (TLO) facility.
Our TLO facility is approximately 60 km from the site and is hauled by road, 24 hours a day.
Once at the TLO the coal is graded and sorted for a second time before being loaded on to trains and then railed by Aurizon for its 180km journey, via the Moura rail system, to the Port of Gladstone.
From there it is shipped to our customers, mainly Asian steel producers.
