OUR
MINING PROCESS
• Topsoil, waste
material and
overburden are
removed by
excavators, bulldozers
and dump trucks
• The overburden
removed is
transported to
the designated
dumping areas and
is subsequently used
in our Group’s land
reclamation and
rehabilitation activities
• Using excavators, the
coal is extracted and
loaded onto dump
trucks for haulage
• Our Group generally
operates on a system
of two work shifts
of 10 hours per day
throughout the year
• Coal is transported by
dump trucks to the barge
loading port which is
generally located within
close proximity of coal
mining sites
• Close proximity
reduces transportation
costs while increasing
operational efficiency
