Coronado Global Resources, an ASX-listed producer of high-quality metallurgical coal recently announced the imminent launch of its Mammoth underground mine after receiving relevant regulatory approvals.

Located at the southern end of the Curragh North pit within the company's Curragh Mining Complex, this marks Coronado's first foray into underground mining operations in Australia and underpins its strategy to ramp up production and lower costs.

Curragh Mining Complex comprises two open-cut mines of Curragh North and Curragh South at Blackwater in Queensland's Bowen Basin.

Operations at Mammoth are set to officially commence on December 19, with the first coal mining scheduled. Once fully operational, the mine is projected to produce 1.5-2 million tonnes of coal annually by 2025.

The mine will utilize a bord-and-pillar method to extract approximately 41 million tonnes of raw metallurgical coal reserves through the existing highwall of the S-Pit open-cast operation.
