Mount Pleasant Project

Coal & Allied is currently reviewing its feasibility study into the development of the Mount Pleasant deposit, located adjacent to the Bengalla mine and four km from the town of Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.

The proposed mine would produce up to 10.5 million tonnes of thermal coal for international markets. The deposit holds 459 million tonnes of thermal coal.

Coal & Allied obtained an authority over the Mount Pleasant resource in 1992. Exploration, mining studies and an environmental impact statement (EIS) were completed in 1997 with development consent granted in 1999.

In November 2006 Coal & Allied announced the commencement of a feasibility study into Mount Pleasant's potential development, and in 2007 a shopfront was opened at 19 Bridge Street Muswellbrook for engagement with the community. 

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

Coal & Allied is applying for a modification to the existing development consent for the Mount Pleasant Project to provide options that may reduce capital costs, allow more efficient operations and reduce the amount of vegetation cleared.
