Burton Mine Complex

Queensland, Australia · Open Pit

Operating
Coal
Overview
Operating, but the owner, Bowen Coking Coal Ltd, appointed voluntary administrators in July 2025. The complex continues to operate under the administrators while a buyer is sought. The complex includes the Burton Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) with an overall nameplate capacity of 5.5Mt per year. One module of the CHPP was refurbished and commissioned in 2023 with a capacity of 2.75mtpa. The CHPP and associated infrastructure, including a train load-out facility and haul road, serve as a central hub for multiple mining areas.
Production
In the December 2025 quarter, 760,000 tonnes were mined, resulting in sales of nearly 380,000 tonnes. For the financial year ending 30 June 2025, the run-of-mine (ROM) coal production guidance of 2.7 3.0 Mt was achieved, with 2.7 Mt produced as of May 31, 2025. The year-to-date coal sales were 1.7 Mt. In the June 2025 quarter, ROM coal production was 752Kt with saleable coal production of 428Kt.
Processing
The complex includes the Burton Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) with an overall nameplate capacity of 5.5Mt per year. One module of the CHPP was refurbished and commissioned in 2023 with a capacity of 2.75mtpa. The CHPP and associated infrastructure, including a train load-out facility and haul road, serve as a central hub for multiple mining areas.
Equipment
In July 2025, the mining operations were reduced, utilising up to two excavator fleets, a decrease from the previous four. As part of the transition to an owner-operator model, Bowen Coking Coal partnered with Emeco International for a fully maintained fleet solution.
Expansion
The Burton Mine Complex transitioned to an owner-operator model from 1 July 2025, following the expiration of the mining services agreement with BUMA Australia. Due to challenging market conditions, the company initiated a reduced production plan focusing on low-cost mining at Ellensfield South and Plumtree North, targeting approximately 0.5 million tonnes of coal at a strip ratio of less than 3:1. Open-cut mining at the Broadmeadow East pit was paused in May 2024 due to its proximity to a powerline. Development at the Plumtree North mine was ahead of schedule, with the first ROM coal mined in November 2024. As of February 2026, all development work at other nearby tenements is on care and maintenance to preserve cash.

Workforce
399 full-time equivalent staff (as of mid-2024)
Overview
The Waihi Operation is an active gold and silver mine in the Waikato region of New Zealand, wholly owned by OceanaGold Corporation. The current operations are focused on the Martha Underground mine. Open pit operations are suspended, and mining at the Correnso underground mine has ceased, with backfilling activities ongoing.
Production
The combined Martha Underground and Wharekirauponga mines are projected to produce 1.6 million ounces of gold over a 15-year mine life. The existing processing plant has a capacity to treat up to 1.25 million tonnes of ore per annum.
Processing
The existing processing plant uses a conventional carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuit with a capacity to treat up to 1.25 million tonnes of ore per annum. The process involves crushing and grinding, leaching with cyanide, and carbon adsorption to recover gold and silver.
Equipment
modern drilling jumbos, rock loading units, and support equipment. For the Waihi North Project, electric drilling jumbos and battery-operated loaders, haul trucks, and service vehicles will be used where possible.
Expansion
Waihi North Project, which received final government permits in December 2025, will significantly extend the life of the Waihi Operation to at least 2038. This project includes the development of the new high-grade Wharekirauponga Underground mine (WUG), located approximately 10 kilometres north of the existing operation. Tunnelling to access the WUG is expected to commence in the first half of 2026, with first ore production anticipated in 2032. The expansion involves a capital investment of over $1 billion, including the expansion of the current processing plant and water treatment plant, and the construction of a new tailings storage facility.

Workforce
354 jobs
Production
In 2023, the Macraes mine exceeded its production guidance. For the full year 2022, the mine produced 120,918 ounces of gold.
Processing
The processing plant has a capacity of approximately 6.4 million tonnes per annum. The process involves crushing, grinding, flotation, fine grinding, pressure oxidation, and carbon-in-leach (CIL), followed by elution, electrowinning, and smelting. Gold recovery in 2023 averaged 82.5%.
Equipment
The open pit mining fleet includes 360-tonne excavators and haul trucks with a 180-tonne capacity. The haul truck fleet includes Caterpillar 789 models. The underground operations utilise a fleet of jumbos, boggers, haul trucks, and loaders. Teleremote underground drilling, loading, and hauling with Sandvik fleets is in place at the Golden Point underground mine.
Expansion
The mine life has been extended to 2032. This extension is supported by the Macraes Phase 4 project, which includes expansions of the Innes Mills, Golden Bar, and Coronation open pits, and the development of the Golden Point Underground mine. A new tailings storage facility will be established in the mined-out Frasers Pit. In early 2026, OceanaGold acquired 2,039.774 hectares of land to support the expansion.

Production
For the full-year 2024, the Didipio Mine produced 97,000 ounces of gold and 12,300 tonnes of copper. The 2025 guidance is for 85,000 to 105,000 ounces of gold and 13,000 to 15,000 tonnes of copper. In the first quarter of 2024, the mine produced 26,300 ounces of gold.
Processing
The processing plant operates at approximately 4.1 million tonnes per annum, producing both gold dore and copper concentrate. A Pre-feasibility study (PFS) is in progress to identify the preferred process plant operational throughput rate for an optimised underground operation and evaluate requirements to scale to the already permitted 4.3 Mtpa processing rate.
Expansion
Open pit mining was completed in May 2017. The operation is now an underground mine. A 28,000 m program of resource conversion and expansion drilling was planned for 2024, focusing on infilling Panel 3 and testing below 1930mRL (Panel 4). A PFS is underway to assess an optimised underground mining production rate of approximately 2.5 Mtpa and is expected to be completed in 2026. As of 31 December 2024, Mineral Reserves at the Didipio mine increased to 1.23 million ounces of gold and 0.15 million tonnes of copper, net of mining depletion. The company is also spending $5 million on exploration activities within its FTAA area surrounding the mine.

In 2021, the Ahafo mine directly employed 1,064 people. The Subika underground project was anticipated to add an additional 600 people to the workforce at its peak production. Underground mining activities are conducted by contractor African Underground Mining Services (AUMS).
Overview
The Subika mine is part of the Ahafo South operations, which are 100% owned and operated by Newmont Corporation. Franco-Nevada Corporation holds a royalty interest in the Subika deposit. The Subika open pit mining was completed in 2025, with underground mining continuing.
Production
In 2021, the Ahafo operations (including Subika) produced 481,000 ounces of gold. The Subika underground mine was expected to add 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of average annual gold production in its first five years. For fiscal year 2025, the annual gold production for the entire Ahafo South operation was 664,000 ounces.
Processing
Ore is processed at the central Ahafo South processing plant using conventional milling with a carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit. Run-of-mine ore is fed to a primary gyratory crusher, then processed through a SAG mill, and the ground slurry undergoes leaching in CIL tanks.
Equipment
Open pit mining used a conventional truck and shovel fleet, including Liebherr R 994B 300-tonne class excavators. The underground mine utilizes conventional mechanized equipment, including Cat® R2900 XE diesel-electric loaders (nine units planned by 2026), semi-autonomous loading, proximity detection, and personnel tracking. The processing plant includes a gyratory crusher, a Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill, and leach tanks.
Expansion
The Subika underground mine was developed as a downward extension of the open pit. Newmont has a long-term district strategy to extend the mine life of the Ahafo South operations beyond 2050.
