In a vote of confidence in the future of Queensland’s coal industry, Bravus Mining and Resources has announced it will make a substantial capital investment to increase production at its Carmichael mine, near Clermont in central Queensland, by a third over the next four years to 16 million tpy.
Bravus Mining and Resources COO, Mick Crowe, said the decision to export more coal from Carmichael would create hundreds of new jobs for Queenslanders during construction and ramp up.
“Over the last three years our Carmichael mine has safely and efficiently ramped production up to more than 10 million tpy, which has boosted the Queensland economy and created thousands of jobs in regional Queensland.
“This new investment will increase Carmichael’s output by a third and create more benefits for Queensland.
“Our investment in the infrastructure to support this growth means more contracts for local businesses and suppliers and more high-paying mining industry jobs for people living in places like Clermont, Rockhampton, Mackay, Bowen, Townsville, and Cairns.
“It also means Carmichael will remain strategically positioned to efficiently deliver high-quality Queensland thermal coal to the global seaborne coal market at scale.”
Engineering studies and assessments have been completed, and work to deliver increased production will begin with adding more capacity to the Carmichael mine accommodation village.
