Waratah Coal is a subsidiary of Resourcehouse Limited, which is owned by Clive Palmer.
On its website the company states that its "major venture is the China First project, a coal mine and infrastructure venture which will connect the company’s extensive coal reserves in the resource-rich Galilee Basin to a new coal terminal on the central Queensland coast."[1]
In August 2011, it was reported that Waratah had a contract to sell 30 million tonnes of coal to China over the next 20 years.[2]
In 2021, Waratah Coal was successfully sued by Murrawah Maroochy Johnson, an aboriginal woman who argued that greenhouse gas emissions from the Waratah coal mine would harm Indigenous peoples and their cultural traditions. Because of the lawsuit, the mine's permit was denied.[3]
