Dawson

The Dawson project is a joint venture between Mitsui Resources Pty. Ltd. (49 per cent equity share) and Anglo American. Located in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, this open cut metallurgical coal mine is made up of three operating pits – North, Central and South. Dawson began operations in 1963 under the name Moura. Today, the mine is operated by Anglo American and exports mainly from Gladstone Port in Queensland.

Capcoal

The Capcoal project is a joint venture between Mitsui Resources Pty. Ltd. (30 per cent equity share) and Anglo American. Located in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, the mine commenced open cut operations in 1981 and started underground mining in 1988. The mine is operated by Anglo American and produces more than 10 million tonnes of saleable premium hard coking, hard coking, PCI and thermal coal per annum. In 2015, the Grasstree underground operation achieved the milestone of producing 10 million tonnes of ROM in a calendar year, which is an Australian record. Exports are shipped from the Gladstone Port and Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal in Mackay, Queensland.

As part of the Capcoal project, the joint venture is progressing the development of its Aquila longwall mining project. The Aquila project is a medium seam longwall operation targeting the Aquila and Aquila Lower coal seams to produce hard coking coal. It will include construction of surface infrastructure, development of longwall panels and underground infrastructure to support the operation.
