Jellinbah Group is a independent Queensland based coal company with operations in the Bowen Basin. The group has two operating mines, Jellinbah Mine and Lake Vermont Mine, with a combined production capacity of 8.6MT pa.
Both mines produce hard coking coal, low volatile PCI coal, semi-soft coking coal and thermal coal.
JELLINBAH EAST COAL MINE
Jellinbah Mine is located on the Tropic of Capricorn and the product coal is hauled by rail to the Port of Gladstone, approximately 300 km from the mine.
The mine has been in operation since 1989. It is an open cut operation with overburden drilling and blasting, followed by conventional removal with truck and shovel.
A favourable strip ratio and generous seam thickness means that Jellinbah East mine is a highly productive mine.
