Operations at Wongawilli Colliery to Recommence
Wollongong Coal wishes to announce the execution of a Mining Services Agreement with Delta SBD Limited for mine operation at its Wongawilli mine. Under the agreement, Delta SBD will provide technical expertise, personnel and equipment services at the mine as well as manage day to day operations.
The arrangement with Delta is for an interim period of around two years and covers the extraction of up to 1.45 Mt while Wollongong Coal will focus on the future approvals and longer-term management and workplace arrangements at Wongawilli.
The current plan is to commence producing coal from July 2016 with expected first shipment in current financial quarter.
Mr Rhys Brett, Operations Manager, stated that "this is good news for workforce employed at the mine, and also provides an impetus to leverage synergy from the two entities to deliver economic benefits to the Illawarra region".
