Yancoal Australia said on Tuesday it has entered a deal to acquire an 80% stake in the Kestrel coking coal mine in Queensland for up to $2.4-billion - a move that strengthens its position as one of the country's largest coal miners.

The company will purchase the majority stake in the Bowen Basin-based mine from private equity firm EMR Capital and Alamtri Resources Indonesia, the current stakeholders.

The remaining 20% is held by Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co.

Yancoal, which is controlled by China's Yankuang Energy, said the acquisition would strengthen its position in the Bowen Basin, with Kestrel located near Yancoal’s existing Middlemount joint venture and Yarrabee operation.
