The Commodore mine is an open-pit coal mine located in Domville and Clontarf, Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia. The majority stake in the mine is owned by InterGen Australia. [1]
Since 2000, the engineering company Downer EDI Mining has been operating the Commodore Mine. [2]
In September 2014, Downer EDI Mining renewed its contract to manage the mine for 5 more years for $250 million. [2]
In September 2018, Downer EDI Mining renewed its contract to manage the mine for 5 more years for $286 million. [3]
Situated around 200 kilometers west of Brisbane in Queensland's Surat Basin, the Commodore Mine is adjacent to the 850 mega-watt coal-fired Millmerran Power Station, to which the mine is the only source of coal fuel supply, having made its first delivery there in February 2003. [1] [4]
The Commodore mine employs about 50 staff onsite in total. Almost half the total workforce has been employed from the local community. [1] The mine's geology is made up of gently folded Walloon coal measures of middle Jurassic age, dipping generally at less than three degrees. Three banded seams are visible: Kooroongarra (up to 3 metres thick), Commodore (averaging 5.2metres thick) and Bottom Rider (between 0.5metres and 0.9metres thick). [1]
The mine operates on biodiesel fuel, and developed a system that independently verifies fugitive methane gas emissions. [5]
By 1 January 1999, Commodore had a thermal coal resource of 177Mt. The mine produced 3.250Mt to 31 December 2005, and has roughly 3.6Mtpa production capacity. [1]
The mine is operated by Downer EDI Mining. [5]
