Peabody proposes to continue Downer EDI Mining, the mining contractor for the Millennium mine, for the expansion project as well.Verle Ray Jensen was born March 26, 1931, the son of John Clifford Jensen and Alma Marie Gordan Jenson. ![]() ![]() NQ Group is the supplier of heavy haulage equipment for the Millennium Expansion project. The construction and operations contractors and personnel will be accommodated at the MAC accommodation villages at Coppabella and Moranbah. Process water for the MEP will be supplied from the West Dam catchment and the Burdekin Dam. The current power supply will be upgraded if electrically-powered mining equipment is introduced. Power for the expansion project will be supplied from the existing 66kV overhead transmission line that currently supplies to the mine and associated infrastructure. An estimated 240 train movements a year happen on the line from the Millennium Mine, while the MEP will increase the same to 368. MEP will also use the current Red Mountain Rail Loop (RMRL), servicing the Millennium Mine, connected to the existing Norwich Park branch railway line transporting coal directly to the DBCT. The mine will be accessed through the privately installed and maintained Millennium/Poitrel mine access road, connecting to the south of the Peak Downs Highway. The MEP will make use of most of the existing infrastructure facilities of the Millennium mine, while upgrading or relocating some of the facilities to improve efficiency. Infrastructure at the Millennium Expansion project Coal will be transported approximately 170km to the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT) and loaded onto ships for export. Product coal will be transported by conveyor to the train load-out system at a maximum rate of 5,000tph (tonnes per hour). The current ROM and product stockpile area’s size will be hiked to meet the additional throughput of the MEP. ![]() The plant uses a traditional process involving crushing, washing and gravity separation with minimal use of chemicals such as diesel, MIBC and flocculant. The run-of-mine coal will be hauled by trucks and transported to the existing coal handling and processing plant owned by Red Mountain joint venture (RMJV). The proposed expansion project will follow the existing mining method, while electric shovels and/or a dragline are proposed to be used at a later stage.Īlso being considered is the use of dragline, highwall mining and/or underground methods of mining. Operating since 2005, the Millennium coal mine uses open-cut truck and excavator terrace mining methods. ![]() Most of the MEP area is covered with a veneer of Triassic Rewan sediments, while the Quaternary-aged alluvium associated with the Isaac River overlies the Triassic-Permian sequence in the southern region. The Rangal Coal Measures are located between the Permian Fort Cooper Coal Measures and the Triassic Rewan Group.
