Project status

West Rolleston is an open-cut thermal coal resource and remains under early evaluation pending further definition and optimisation of potential mining areas.

Exploration will continue to support resource definition, with proven lateral seam continuity from Freitag Creek through Deepdale and Mt Ogg.

Application and supporting documents have been lodged with WICET to secure port capacity Stage 2.
