In August, Mitsui Coal Holdings (MCH) supported the Coal & Country Festival in Moura, Queensland for the tenth year in a row.  

MCH, Mitsui Australia, Mitsui E&P Australia employees and their families, and Tokyo head office visitors volunteered their time so local residents could try Japanese food and cultural activities – all for a gold coin donation.

Over $2,040 was raised for three NPOs: Moura Blue Care, Moura Youth Centre and Moura Historical Society.

Our involvement with Moura began back in 1959 when Mitsui Mining geologists visited the vast Kianga-Moura field to explore for coal reserves. This led toour Moura coal mine joint venture, which started in 1962 and today operates under the name of Dawson.

Since the beginning, we have always believed in contributing to the community. Mitsui is a proud supporter of Moura’s local festival.
