Overview

In November 2006 Coal & Allied announced the commencement of a feasibility study into Mount Pleasant's potential development. Coal & Allied is undertaking extensive community consultation as part of the feasibility study.

The Mount Pleasant lease is located adjacent to Coal & Allied's Bengalla mine near the town of Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales.

Mount Pleasant is 100 per cent owned by Coal & Allied Industries Limited.

History

Coal & Allied obtained an authority over the Mount Pleasant resource in April 1992. Exploration, mining studies and an environmental impact statement (EIS) were completed in 1997. After a 26 month process involving extensive community consultation and a Commission of Inquiry, development consent was granted in 1999 allowing an open cut operation of up to 10.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of run of mine (ROM) coal.
