NDY was involved in the development of the Bankable Feasibility Study at Kevin’s Corner in Central Queensland. The Kevin’s Corner Project is a recognised thermal coal deposit within the Galilee Basin, Queensland. This deposit contains very large resources of coal in a premium location of the basin.
The project will be a 30Mtpa open cut and underground longwall coal mine. The coal seams dip gently from east to west varying in thickness from 5 to 8 metres. The operation has an expected mine life of 30 plus years.
The scope of NDY’s involvement was to undertake design of the services infrastructure for the Mine Infrastructure Areas (MIA) of the project.
Construction of the GVK owned mine was expected to commence in 2014/15 with first coal produced in 2017/2018.
