PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Diversified mining giant BHP Billiton on Friday confirmed that it had cut a further 95 staff at its Mt Arthur coal mine, in New South Wales.

The latest redundancies came after the miner in July cut 163 staff members from the Mt Arthur payroll, following an internal review of the operation.

“We continue to assess opportunities and make any necessary adjustments,” a spokesperson for the company told Mining Weekly Online.

“Affected employees will be consulted with over the next week, including with regards to redeployment opportunities, and will be provided with support services. Where appropriate, a redundancy package will also be provided,” the spokesperson said.

In February, BHP and its coal alliance partner Mitsubishi cut 230 jobs from the Saraji coal mine, in Queensland, and in April followed this with a further 36 redundancies at its Illawarra operations, in New South Wales.

The miner also cancelled a A$360-million overburden removal contract at its Goonyella Riverside coal mine, in Queensland, putting more than 400 contractor jobs at risk.
