A conventional truck and shovel open cut 18 km north-west of Moranbah, in production since 2011. Coal is washed on site and railed to Dalrymple Bay on the Goonyella system. The pit has a 24-year reserve life at current rates, with a northern extension approved and scheduled to start stripping next year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
