24.01.2022 Our mining truck fleet has been progressively growing over recent months thanks to the team of highly skilled HV electricians, diesel fitters and auto electricians from Mackay who have been wiring, bolting and welding each machine together. With its world-class mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sector, we know that these big guys are safe in the expert hands of Mackay locals.

22.01.2022 Removing the layers of overburden above the coal seam is a team effort that requires the work of our 4 excavators, 8 dump trucks, countless water trucks, dozers, and hundreds of hours of hard work from our mine team! We're adding another dozen dump trucks to our fleet this year as we go full steam ahead on development of the Carmichael Mine and Rail project.

18.01.2022 Here’s a Thursday train teaser for you: How many Australian-made concrete sleepers does it take to build 200km of world-class rail infrastructure? Make sure you choo-choo-choose your answer carefully. [Spoiler alert]: The construction of the CRN requires over 319,000 concrete sleepers, 27,000 tonnes of steel rail tracks, 22 bridge crossings, 460 culverts and over a thousand jobs for regional Queenslanders.

17.01.2022 It's been 8 months since we started our 'box cut' - the process of removing the layers of overburden above the coal seams - and it's safe to say we've made some significant progress. Our excavators, dump trucks and talented workforce remove an average of 1 million cubic metres of rock from the pit each month, and just recently we ticked past the 7 million cubic metre total milestone. That little spot in the second image is one of our massive 18m tall Liebherr excavators!

15.01.2022 In July last year we started the box-cut on our Carmichael Mine, and now 8-months later we are entering the next phase of our construction process, with regular controlled blasts taking place on site. Controlled blasts are the most efficient way to break up hard rock on site, and to create materials which will be used for structural fill and formation works. Using materials already present at site means less materials needing to be brought in on trucks, less traffic on our highways and roads, and improved safety for our contractors and staff. We always have very strict safety and environmental measures in place at our mine site, and when doing controlled blasts, we use best-practice measures to ensure dust, vibration and noise are kept in hand so that our neighbours and local flora and fauna are not disrupted.

11.01.2022 In July last year we started the box-cut on our Carmichael Mine, and now 6-months later we are entering a new phase of our construction process, with regular controlled blasts taking place on site and the preparation for the construction of our Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) underway! (We will have more on that part of the project soon). What you can see in the image here is our team completing drilling works ready for another round of controlled blasting to take ...place.

10.01.2022 From this angle the Liebherr excavators and CAT trucks almost look like toys! These machines are a little heavier than your average Tonka Truck however, with just one CAT 796 weighing in at over 570 tonnes and the Liebherr R 996B’s weighing over 700 tonnes each.

09.01.2022 You may have seen some media this morning discussing some ongoing issues around council roads, fencing and cattle. You can read our statement below. We value our relationship with all our neighbours and over the years we have worked hard to ensure our Project can co-exist with their existing pastoral businesses. We understand and share Mr Luke’s frustration that we have been unable to complete upgrades to the publicly-owned council road and complete fencing on his property.... We require approval of our proposed road design from Isaac Regional Council prior to us being able to undertake the works. We regret that one of Mr Luke’s cattle was injured by traffic on the public road and subsequently had to be euthanised. We have previously compensated landowners on the rare occasion when their cattle have been injured and would be willing to do the same for Mr Luke if he requests compensation. We will continue to actively pursue approvals from Isaac Regional Council so we can get on with upgrading the public road, including the section in front of Mr Luke’s property, as soon as possible. We continue to seek resolution with the Isaac Regional Council in relation to approval of our plans to spend more than $100 million to upgrade the council-owned road. This work will create more than 100 jobs in the region over the next two years.

06.01.2022 Given the amount of water around at the moment (our dams on site are full!), we thought we would shine a spotlight on water management at the Carmichael mine. The Carmichael mine will use water from a number of sources. The Suttor River, groundwater, rainwater and recycled water. Our water licence allows us to take water from the Suttor River, but only when it is in flood and only when other industrial users, like farmers, have taken what they need.
