Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) is a multi-seam, multi-pit open cut mining operation located in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, 24 km northwest of Singleton and 110 km from Newcastle.

Production commenced at HVO in 1968 at the current West Pit, which was then part of the Howick mine. The Hunter Valley No. 1 mine began production in 1979. In 2000 Coal & Allied merged the Howick and Hunter Valley mines to create Hunter Valley Operations. The Lemington mine, which began production in 1971, was acquired and merged into Hunter Valley Operations in 2001.

Hunter Valley Operations is 100 per cent owned by Coal & Allied Industries Ltd.
