Middlemount Coal Mine is an open-cut coal mine which uses conventional truck and shovel methods. Middlemount commenced its full-scale operations in November 2011 with a current mine life expectancy estimated to be more than 20 years.

Middlemount Coal Pty Ltd (Middlemount) is an incorporated joint venture between Peabody Energy Australia Pty Ltd and Yancoal Australia Ltd.

The mine produces semi-hard coking coal and medium-volatile pulverized coal injection (PCI) coal for the export market. This coal is washed and cleaned on site to remove impurities to become a product that meets the customers’ requirements before being loaded.

Middlemount has contracted rail and port capacity through Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT) and Abbot Point Port (APCT); however the marketing of the coal is conducted by Peabody and Yancoal on Middlemount’s behalf.

"it is a great single-pit operation because all decisions and plans are specific for here and tailored to our site"
