Background
The South Walker Creek mine is an open-cut coal mine owned and operated by Stanmore Resources Ltd. The mine was commissioned in 1996 and produces Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) grade coal and coking coal.[6]
South Walker Creek coal is "beneficiated at on-site processing facilities with a capacity to produce 3.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of coal."[6] From financial years 2013-2014, nominated production rate increased from 5.6 Mtpa in FY2013 to 7.9 Mtpa in FY2014.[7] South Walker Creek Mine was previously owned by BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) and operated by BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (BMC); however, in May 2022, Stanmore Resources acquired BHP’s 80% interest in BMA, becoming the operator of the mine.[8] Then, in October 2022, the remaining 20% share was acquired, making Stanmore the mine's owner and operator.[9]
