Bluff, QLD

Situated on the Tropic of Capricorn near Bluff, Jellinbah Mine has been an open-cut operation since 1989. The mine employs overburden drilling and blasting, followed by conventional removal with truck and shovel and dozer push. Coal is then mined using the truck and excavator method and is crushed in a 1,200 tonnes per hour crushing and screening plant. The product coal, consisting of washed and/or bypass coal, is trucked approximately 25 km to the Boonal rail siding and loaded onto 7,500 tonne trains for dispatch to Gladstone Port by rail. After mining, careful rehabilitation of the spoil dumps is conducted, and the site is recovered with topsoil and seeded. The mine operates in full compliance with Queensland Government environmental procedures, controlling levels of noise, dust, water quality, and overburden rehabilitation.
