Environment Abel Operations community consultative committee. Environmental assessment approval documents. Abel is a Ford and pillar operation, which uses consecutive miners for beginning workings and lesser extraction. This two stage process accommodates abnormal shaped coal deposits, enables adjustment to extraction for better management of subsidence and maximizes the efficiency of the operation. The mine uses existing surface infrastructure and the Bloomfield Coal Handling and Preparation Plant, rail loader and rail loop for coal processing and loading. Following extraction, coal is transported via conveyor through the high wall to the surface infrastructure area of the Donaldson Begin Cut Mine. It is then transported to the Bloomfield Coal Handling and Preparation Plant, where it is processed and loaded for transport by rail to Port. The washed coal is transported by rail and exported through the Port of Newcastle. Tasman is a Ford and pillar operation, which uses continuous miners for first workings and secondary extraction. Succeeding extraction, the raw coal is brought to the surface where it is transported by truck to the established coal washing and loading facilities at Bloomfield Colliery (16 km). There it is washed lower contract to export steam coal specification. Washed coal is transported by rail and exported through the Port of Newcastle. Coal is extracted by conventional truck and shovel haul back methods in an begin cut operation. Soil, overburden and coal are removed, then the mine area is progressively back occupied and rehabilitated. Notable attention is paid to minimizing coal losses and outofseam dilution to maximize the quality of the end product. Raw coal is transported by truck on internal roadways to the established coal washing and loading facilities at Bloomfield Colliery (1.5km away) where it is washed below contract to export specification. Processed coal is transported by rail and exported through the Port of Newcastle.
