Coal is brought to the surface via conveyor belts. It undergoes primary and secondary crushing before being stockpiled. From the stockpile, it is moved by dozers and conveyors to the Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP). In the CHPP, the coal's ash content is checked, and it is then transferred to a washed coal stockpile. Coarse rejects are taken to a Reject Emplacement Area (REA), while fine rejects are processed through a belt filter press.
Equipment
Underground: three continuous miners, a mobile bolter unit, shuttle cars, JOY 4th generation Flexible Conveyor Train (FCT). Surface: water treatment plant, rail loop and load-out facilities, conveyor systems, dozers, front-end loaders, steel sets for ground support.
