As the world’s largest open-cut coal contract miner we mine more than 109 million tonnes of coal, 7 million tonnes of ore and move about 542 million cubic metres of overburden per year. Our operations showcase our leadership in project management and innovation as well as safety, water management, rehabilitation and community outcomes.

Our numerous mine sites span Australia, Indonesia and India. We own and operate one of the largest mining fleets in the world with a replacement value of more than $3 billion and our contracts have included coal, iron ore, copper and uranium, nickel, gold, silver, lead, zinc and magnesite.

Our team works closely with clients each step of the way to ensure a total life-of-mine approach to operations. Our mine planning and methods have been refined and tested over decades, offering mine owners greater confidence and productivity with less risk. Our team continues to pursue industry leadership – we are one of the first international contractors to be awarded a project with India’s leading power generator, NTPC Limited, to develop the greenfield Pakri Barwadih Coal Mine. Care for the safety of our people, local communities and the environment is a core value and driver of the way we do business.
