iMINCO Mining Jobs NSW - Whitehaven's Mules Creek Goes Ahead
More than 800 new NSW mining jobs for 2014 signals a good start to the year with Whitehaven Coal`s Maules Creek mine getting Federal approval.

The Australian Federal Court threw out a challenge by environmental groups opposed to the mine construction.

Whitehaven Coal said it will begin construction of the $767 million mining project which is located near Narrabri NSW, after a court dismissed the court action from the Northern Inland Council for the Environment.

“$767 million mining project”

The Northern Inland Council for the Environment (Nice) filed a challenge to appeal the construction of proposed mine in July 2013. This was to challenge former federal environment minister Tony Burke`s decision to approve the project. The basics of the court action centred around Burke approving the mine without fist offering up adequate compensation around an offset package.

Of course, NICE has said it will reflect on the court`s decision and look to launch an appeal.

The environmental group are still claiming the mine approval and the subsequent creation of new mining jobs in NSW was based on false information, and the relationship between Whitehaven Coal and the National Party is under scrutiny after the company was fined for failing to declare political donations.

Whitehaven Coal welcomed the decision stating the mine project has undergone rigorous scrutiny from regulatory agencies. Managing director Paul Flynn said Whitehaven was getting on with the job of building the mine and it looks forward to the success of the mining project which is set to create more mining jobs NSW.

“We are absolutely determined to maintain momentum and achieve first coal sales in the first quarter of CY2015,”� Flynn said.

The Maules Creek mine when it reaches full production capacity will deliver about 13 million tonnes of coal annually, of which 10.5 million tonnes will be saleable.

“more than 800 NSW mining jobs”

The new mine is expected to create more than 800 NSW mining jobs and will fill the NSW government coffers with $6.5 billion in royalties and corporate tax over the first 21 years of the project.

The Australian Federal Court decision now paves the way forward for the Boggabri coal mine (NSW) to be developed further by Idemitsu Australia. This coal mining project in NSW was also challenged by the Northern Inland Council for the Environment.
