Wallarah 2 coal project, Australia
Name of the Project
Wallarah 2 coal project.
Location
The project will be developed near Wyong, on the Central Coast of Australia.
Client
Wyong Areas Coal Joint Venture (WACJV).
Project Description
Wallarah 2 has a coal resource of 375-million tonnes.
The project entails the development of a new underground coal mine using longwall mining methods for the extraction of up to five-million tonnes of thermal coal a year.
Surface infrastructure will be located at Buttonderry and Tooheys road. Run-of-mine (RoM) coal will undergo minimal processing on site. RoM coal will not be washed; it will only be sized and screened. A small amount of waste rock may be produced during processing, which will be trucked off-site to an emplacement facility. No fine coal tailings will be produced.
Potential Job Creation
The project will have a construction workforce of about 450 employees and an operational workforce of about 300 employees.
Value
$805-million.
