Background
The Poitrel mine is an open-cut coal mine owned and operated by Stanmore Resources in Queensland, Australia.[6] Poitrel Mine was previously owned by BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) and operated by BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (BMC); however, in May 2022, Stanmore Resources acquired BHP’s 80% interest in BMA, becoming the operator of the Poitrel mine.[6] Then, in October 2022, the remaining 20% share was acquired, making Stanmore the mine's owner and operator.[7]
Poitrel produced first coal in 2006 and has access to high-quality infrastructure, producing a mix of hard coking coal (HCC) and pulverized coal injection (PCI) coals for export to overseas customers, including in Asia and Europe.[6]
BHP Billiton states that the Poitrel mine "has a joint venture agreement (Red Mountain Joint Venture) with the adjacent Millennium Coal mine to share coal processing and rail loading facilities. Poitrel has access to 3.0 mtpa capacity from the processing facilities."[8]
It has a mine life in excess of 10 years.[6]
