Background
The Minyango coal project is a proposed underground coal mine operated by Bounty Mining Limited (Bounty), Q Coal, producing 6 million tonnes per annum, in Blackwater, Queensland, Australia.[1] Q Coal will operate the mine.[1] Bounty acquired Minyango coking coal project from the administrators of Caledon Resources in November 2018. In 2019, Australian privately owned coal mining firm QCoal has won control of the finances and future offtake arrangements for Australian coking coal firm Bounty Mining.[2] The future of the project remains uncertain. After 4 years without an update the project is presumed cancelled.
