This included all staff; management, engineering, safety, admin, and bulk recruitment of trades and operators. Also experienced in Graduate and Apprentice recruitment campaigns. Abel and Tasman mines are a bord and pillar underground coal operation, which uses continuous miners for first workings and secondary extraction. This two stage process accommodates irregular shaped coal deposits, enables adjustment to extraction for better management of subsidence and maximizes the efficiency of the operation. The mine uses existing surface infrastructure and the Bloomfield Coal Handling and Preparation Plant, rail loader and rail loop for coal processing and loading. In Donaldson Open Cut pit, coal is extracted by conventional truck and shovel haul back methods in an open cut operation. Soil, overburden and coal are removed, then the mine area is progressively backfilled and rehabilitated. Particular attention is paid to minimising coal losses and out-of-seam dilution to maximise the quality of the end product. Show less
