OPERATIONS
With operations in two of the largest and most productive metallurgical coal basins in the world—Queensland’s Bowen Basin and the Central Appalachian region of the U.S.—Coronado offers a suite of coal products to a wide range of customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, and Europe.
Our single 100% owned mining complex in Queensland’s Bowen Basin and three 100% owned mining complexes in the Central Appalachian region of the U.S. are major contributors to the local economies and communities in which they are located. In total these complexes have eight actively producing mines that are located close to transportation infrastructure, supporting Coronado’s position as one of the lowest cost and most reliable sources of Met coal products sought by steelmakers globally.
With 17.4 million tonnes of saleable coal production in calendar year 2021 (94.6% of which was metallurgical grade by revenue and 81.4% was Met coal by colume), Coronado ranks among the top five global Met coal producers.
The health, safety and wellbeing of everyone who enters any of our operations is our absolute priority. There has been strong safety performance at both Australian and U.S. operations where we use a behavior-based safety program to focus all employees on safe culture and work practices.
Our commitment to managing our environmental performance ensures we are at the forefront of environmental management in the mining industry. This includes an operational focus on managing natural resources, such as water and natural vegetation.
We recognise that the production of metallurgical and thermal coal is associated with greenhouse gas emissions and are committed to working with other industry participants, to support, develop and introduce new coal production and energy generation technologies, that help reduce the environmental impact of our operations, while continuing to meet global energy and steel demands.
