Status update summary
15 Sep, 2026Strategic Growth and Resource Expansion
Achieved over 500 million tons of coal resources through the Arcadia acquisition, targeting 1 billion tons in the near future.
Rolleston South and Arcadia projects together provide 198 million tons of indicated resource, with ongoing plans to increase confidence and resource size.
Arcadia hosts a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate of 282Mt (164Mt Indicated, 118Mt Inferred), unchanged from previous reporting.
District-scale consolidation strategy aims to position for a strategic transaction or joint venture with major coal operators, with combined exposure to approximately 504.9Mt of reported coal resources in the region.
Expansion is expected to support long-term mining operations, potentially sustaining up to 70 years of activity.
Operational and Infrastructure Advantages
Projects are located in the Bowen Basin, a globally recognized coal district with proven infrastructure, including sealed roads and rail access to the Port of Gladstone.
Shallow, high-quality thermal coal allows for direct shipping without the need for expensive processing plants, reducing start-up costs and enabling early cash flow.
Overlapping petroleum leases provide access to additional exploration data and reduce fugitive emissions through gas drainage.
Strong relationships with local stakeholders, landholders, and government officials support project approvals and social license to operate.
Coal Quality and Product Potential
Independent review confirms Arcadia's coal can support semi-soft coking, PCI, and high-energy thermal coal products, with average in-situ ash around 10%.
Selective mining and beneficiation could enhance semi-soft coking coal characteristics, with preliminary analysis indicating an average CSN of ~3 across 32% of the low-ash deposit.
Washing can reduce ash and increase CSN by 1-2 points, improving product quality and increasing the proportion of semi-soft coking coal.
Flexibility exists to target different coal products from various parts of the deposit.
Low in-situ ash supports high-yield PCI and thermal coal products, with potential for marketable products with limited processing.
