Bowen cuts the ribbon at Burton

Coal miner Bowen Coking Coal on Thursday officially re-opened its Burton complex, consisting of several un-mined coal deposits as well as the Broadmeadow East mine, where first coal was shipped in January.

The Burton complex has a Joint Ore Reserves Committee compliant resource of some 204-million tonnes, and Bowen is targeting an annual run-of-mine production target of between 3.5-million and 4.5-million tonnes a year.
