Horsley Park Plant 23 Quarry

New South Wales, Australia · Quarry

Operating
CoalKaolinSilica Sand
Opened
1971-01-01
End year
2029
Production
The quarry supplies raw materials to the Horsley Park brick plants. For instance, Plant 23 requires approximately 530,000 tonnes of clay/shale annually to produce up to 130 million bricks. An Environment Protection Licence for the broader site allows for the crushing, grinding or separating of up to two million tonnes of material annually.
Processing
No clay or shale processing occurs within the quarry itself; raw materials are used for the adjacent brick manufacturing plants. Extraction is conducted by scrapers for clay materials or by excavator and haul truck for shale and sandstone, with ripping by bulldozer as required. No blasting is performed.
Equipment
scrapers, excavator, haul truck, bulldozer
Expansion
A modification was approved in August 2022 for the Plant 2 facility to increase its operational throughput capacity from 80 million to 130 million standard brick equivalents per year by moving to a 24/7 continuous shift model. The new state-of-the-art Horsley Park Plant 2 was substantially completed in FY2023. Parts of the quarry are undergoing progressive rehabilitation. In FY2023, the Horsley Park Plant 23 quarry was successfully relinquished to facilitate stages 2 to 4 of the new Oakdale Industrial Estate. An 11-hectare site in the south-western corner of the quarry, previously used for stockpiling, has been rehabilitated for the Oakdale East Industrial Estate.

Opened
1961-01-01
End year

Mine life
15 years
Workforce
841 employees and 526 contractors as of 2023
Production
The mine produces coking, soft coking, and thermal coal for export to countries including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and India. The coal is transported by rail to Gladstone for shipping.
Processing
The Dawson mine utilises what is described as the largest coal handling and preparation plant in Australia. The processing circuit includes dense medium cyclones, spirals, and flotation. Raw coal is delivered to the plant via an overland conveyor system. The plant can process at 2000 tonnes per hour in a two-stage mode and up to 3400 tonnes per hour in a single-stage mode.
Equipment
The operation is an open cut mine that consists of three pits: North, Central, and South. Mining methods include truck and shovel, dragline, and highwall mining. The mine was the first in Australia to introduce draglines into its operation in 1963.
Expansion
An 82-hectare area of the Dawson mine has received progressive certification for rehabilitation from Queensland's environmental regulator. This land is now being used for cattle grazing. Macmahon, a mining contractor at the Dawson South project, is set to continue providing open-cut mining services under a new contract commencing on or before 1 July 2024 for a period of up to three years.

Coal
Workforce
800-850 (prior to suspension)
Overview
Following a localised ignition event on 29 June 2024, production at the Grosvenor mine was suspended and the workforce was safely evacuated. The mine is now in a project phase, with a staged and carefully managed re-entry process that began in August 2025 after receiving approval from Queensland's safety regulator. Visual inspections have confirmed limited damage to critical life-of-mine infrastructure, and the restart of longwall production is targeted for late 2027, subject to investment approval.
Production
In 2023, the mine produced 2.797 million tons of coal.
Processing
Run-of-mine coal is transported via a conveyor to the neighbouring Moranbah North mine's coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) for processing. The plant has a nameplate capacity of 7.5 million tonnes per annum.
Equipment
integrated automation and electrification system from ABB, including the 800xA control system

Overview
Production was suspended in March 2025 following a minor gas ignition event underground. The mine has since restarted underground activity using remote mining technology and is in the process of ramping up to normal longwall operations, subject to regulatory approval. Anglo American is in the process of divesting its steelmaking coal business, which includes the Moranbah North mine, with a sale expected to be agreed in 2026.
Production
In 2024, the run-of-mine (ROM) coal production was approximately 3.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), with an approval to mine up to 13.5 Mtpa. The mine has an annual production capacity of 8 million tonnes. In 2014, the mine produced 4.2 million tonnes of hard coking coal.
Processing
The run-of-mine coal is processed on-site at the coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP). The CHPP was expanded to support additional coal from the nearby Grosvenor mine.
Equipment
longwall mining equipment, continuous miners
Expansion
A proposed extension, the Moranbah North Extension Project, involves extending mining operations into an area to the east of the current mine. This project will target the Goonyella Middle Seam and will use existing mine infrastructure. To enable the progression of mining at Moranbah North and the adjacent Grosvenor Mine, an existing rail line and water pipeline are planned to be relocated.
