About Mines Operation Management

Queensland has vast resources of minerals and energy. There are bands of coal rich strata from Collinsville in the north to Milmerran in the south. Queensland is Australia’s largest producer of coal and Australia is the largest exporter of coal in the world. Growth in the minerals industry needs people with technical skills to develop and operate mines in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner.
