Dawson mine

Dawson mine is an open cut coal mine located in the Dawson Valley, at the southern end of the Bowen Basin in Central Queensland. The mine produces over 7 million tonnes of coking, soft coking and thermal coal a year which is railed to the Port of Gladstone for export to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Anglo states on its website that the mine "has identified reserves of 281 million tonnes of coal, with potential for an additional 125 Mt."

Anglo Coal Australia is currently undertaking an Environmental Impact Statement on an expansion of the mine. See Dawson South for more details.

The mine is owned by the Moura Joint Venture, comprising Anglo American Metallurgical Coal Pty Ltd (51%) and Mitsui Coal Holdings Pty Ltd (49%). The mine is operated by Anglo.
