Slide 10: Overburden Removal - Preparation
Overburden Removal - Preparation • Ground is drilled (270mm holes, 8x8m pattern) using 2 Drilltech D90 drills, and then blasted with bulk explosives ( Powder Factor 0.43). GPS drill guidance used, low density explosives trialled Goonyella Riverside Mine Updated 18/10/01
Slide 11: Overburden Removal - Prestrip
Overburden Removal - Prestrip • Overburden depths presently range from about 70 to 150 metres • As required, overburden is removed by prestrip equipment (50% of total overburden volume): – Shovel Conveyor system (P&H 4100XPB shovel (56m3), MMD double roll sizer, conveyors, spreader) – 13m bcm per ye

Slide 16: Overburden Removal - Draglines
Overburden Removal - Draglines • Primary coal exposure is carried out by draglines – three Marion 8050 (51m3) –16m bcm/yr – two BE 1370 (48m3) – 15m bcm/yr – two BE 1350 (35m3) – 10m bcm/yr • Draglines typically remove the final 50 - 60 metres of overburden in multi-pass operations • Innovations inc
Slide 17: Coal Mining
Coal Mining • Coal seams are drilled and blasted prior to mining • Mining is carried out with 2 front end loaders (Cat 994, 25m3) and 2 hydraulic shovels (O&K RH120, 20m3, being replaced by O&K RH170 excavators with 50% increased capacity) – aim to minimise blasting, so reducing cost and minimising
Slide 18: Coal Hauling
Coal Hauling • Raw coal is hauled from mining faces using a fleet of five 220t (Cat 784) bottom dump trucks and seven 220t (Cat 793) rear dump trucks • Hauls average 16 km and range up to 30 km. Normally 2 or 3 faces mined in any one shift to achieve blend to plants • A satellite based tracking and
Slide 19: Coal Preparation
Coal Preparation • Raw coal from the mining faces is blended and processed by the coal preparation plants (CPP) • Coal is crushed to -50mm • Beneficiation involves dense medium separation of coarse (50 x 0.5mm) product from coarse reject, and the use of column flotation to separate fine (0.5 x 0mm)
Slide 20: Coal Transportation
Coal Transportation • Products are transported to Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay coal terminals by a modern electric rail system – each train has up to 120 wagons, and carries over 9000 tonnes of coal • Ports can handle vessels up to 200,000 tonnes capacity. Goonyella Riverside Mine Updated 18/10/01
