PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Coal mining has started at the Broadmeadow East mine, in Queensland, ASX-listed Bowen Coking Coal reported on Thursday.

Coal from Broadmeadow East is planned to be initially processed at the neighboring Fitzroy coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) under an infrastructure sharing agreement with Fitzroy, and exported through the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal.

Bowen Coking Coal told shareholders that as the first producing pit of the company’s expanded Burton Complex, which includes the Burton and Lenton Pits 20 km to the north, Broadmeadow East coal will be processed through the Burton CHPP following the completion of its refurbishment in early 2023.

Bowen MD and CEO Gerhard Redelinghuys said the mining of first coal at Broadmeadow East was a significant achievement for the company.

“The fact that we have commenced coal mining in less than four months from final approvals being granted is a great testament to the hard work and capabilities of our company and contractors,” Redelinghuys said.

Broadmeadow East’s first coal follows Bowen Coking Coal’s first coal shipment from the Bluff mine near Blackwater in June. First run-of-mine coal is targeted for late in the fourth quarter of 2022 from the nearby Burton pit as the company works towards five-million tonnes a year by 2024.
