The Clifford coal project is a proposed open-cut thermal coal mine.[1] The proposed site lies in an area heavy with mining proposals in the Surat Basin, north west of Wandoan, Queensland, Australia.[1]
As of 2022, without any recent developments, the project appears cancelled.
Location
The satellite image below shows the exact location of the proposed mine.[1]
Background
The Clifford project covers approximately 820 square kilometres in Queensland’s highly prospective Surat Basin, near Stanmore Resources’ Range coal project. The project is a joint exploration initiative between Stanmore (60%) and Japanese Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC; 40%).
The Stanmore Coal website suggests that the coal would be exported via the Port of Gladstone to Japanese power stations.[1]
