Warkworth Mine Extension

Coal & Allied is investigating its options to extend mining within its existing lease at the Mount Thorley Warkworth mine near Singleton. 

In April 2008 Coal & Allied outlined its intention for growth in the Hunter. Investigations show there is potential for additional coal mining within Mount Thorley Warkworth's lease. This is land that is owned by the mine. It is not used for agricultural purposes. Its potential for increased mining is further heightened by the recent developments towards securing a long term contractual framework for the coal industry's port capacity in Newcastle and cautious signs of optimism in the market.

Coal & Allied is applying for the Warkworth extension which would take the operation further west within its existing mining lease, and add a further 21 years of operation to the mine.
