In Australia, we operate five steelmaking coal mines in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, and have additional joint venture interests in manganese, as well as copper exploration projects under way in North West Queensland. Steelmaking coal is an essential ingredient in blast-furnace steel manufacture, producing steel used for critical building and infrastructure around the world.
German Creek CHPP processes coal from both Capcoal (Lake Lindsay) and Aquila. We have two plants, one 850tph and one 1600tph and an over laying conveyor (OLC) that has 22km of belt.
