Coal Mine Boundaries and Methane Sources

Global Energy Monitor researchers have identified coal mine boundary/boundaries and potential sources of coal mine methane (CMM) for this mine. These research results can be used to drive CMM attribution and mitigation efforts, particularly when combined with remotely sensed methane plume locations and mine ownership data. Explore the results with the embedded map at the top of this page by clicking on the mine boundary polygon or the CMM placemarkers to reveal more details. A detailed description of this research can be found in Coal Mine Boundaries and Methane Sources. This data is also available as a downloadable companion dataset to the Global Coal Mine Tracker and the Global Methane Emitters Tracker.

ID	Notes
M4355.B1	Ravensworth East mine is part of the Mount Owen complex and within the SSD-5850 boundary as described in the Mount Owen/Glendell 2023 annual report https://web.archive.org/web/2/https://www.glencore.com.au/.rest/api/v1/documents/34f6615ede78150d537b50a23c2b0259/2023+Annual+Review-+Main+report.pdf executive summary on page 5, describing Ravensworth East as part of SSD-5850. In lieu of a well documented Ravensworth East mine boundary, this boundary of the West Pit was estimated by visually identifying the pit's perimeter using Google Earth Pro satellite imagery, cross-referencing visually Figure 13: MOC Groundwater Extraction and Monitoring Bores, page 88 of Mt Owen Complex Annual Review 2017, https://web.archive.org/web/20250716162813/https://www.glencore.com.au/.rest/api/v1/documents/bb86bc0925c3c9427ecf9826e40028d2/MOC_Annual_Review_2017.pdf. The area of this boundary is approximately 1.6 sq km.
