| Galilee Coal project (Hancock): open cut thermal coal mine with rail and port facilities in the Galilee Basin |

Feasibility |
Central West-Fitzroy |
| Galilee Coal project (Waratah): coal mine, railway and port facility in Central Queensland to export high volatile, low sulphur, steaming coal to international markets. Processed coal will be transported by a new 495 km rail system from the Galilee Basin to a planned export port facility on the Central Queensland coast. Waratah Coal will construct a state-of-the-art, heavy haul, standard gauge rail system to support 21,000 tonne train units. The system will be equipped with dual gauge rail from the Bowen Basin mining area to the port to accommodate third party users from the Bowen Basin region. The port will have an initial capacity of 50 million tonnes of coal per year and will accommodate a full range of bulk carriers including the new 350,000 DWT Chinamax class vessel. As the rail and port system reaches full annual export capacity of 50 Million tonnes, approximately 50 trains per week will transport coal to the port. Depending on vessel size, approximately 8 to 10 bulk carriers will enter the port weekly with a range of destinations including Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, other Asian nations and India. Construction 2010. |
