1.2.3.1.2 Boggabri Extension Coal Project

The Boggabri Extension Coal Project covers an area of 658 ha immediately adjacent to the original open-cut mine operations at Boggabri Coal and is a direct extension of the previous mining operations. The Boggabri Extension Coal Project was given approval from the NSW Government in July 2012 and the Australian Government in February 2013 to extend open-cut operations at the mine. The extension allows Boggabri Coal to continue extracting coal at an increased rate of up to 8.6 Mt/year for a further 21 years to December 2033.
