While the Coal Handling Plant resizes the coal, the Coal Preparation Plant will be equipped to process the coal to meet final product quality requirements

Boshoff further noted: “In doing so, the finished product is more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

“It is these facilities that will see Carmichael coal become some of the better-quality coal from around the world.”

Boshoff noted that the project has created more than 2,000 jobs and signed more than A$1.5bn ($1.09bn) in contracts, with more than 88% of the contracts being delivered in Queensland.

The project is slated to commence its first coal production in 2021.
