Moranbah & Grosvenor Mines Rail and Pipeline Realignment
Anglo Coal (Moranbah North Management) Pty Limited (Anglo Coal) operates on behalf of the Moranbah North Coal Joint Venture, two underground metallurgical coal mines north of the Moranbah township in central Queensland – Moranbah North Mine and Grosvenor Mine. Anglo Coal is owned by Anglo American.
An existing rail line known as the North Goonyella Branch rail line (owned by DTMR and operated by Aurizon) and a water pipeline owned and operated by Whitehaven Coal (Braeside Pipeline) traverse the surface areas of both mines and overlie the coal resource.
To maximise mining of the coal resource, sections of the rail line and water pipeline are proposed to be relocated (collectively the Project). The resources have an approximate sale value of $9B.
The Project is located in Central Queensland, approximately 8 km north of Moranbah, with Emerald lying approximately 180 km to the south, and Mackay 150 km to the northeast.
