Mining Services
Ensham Coal Mine
Golding has a long association with Ensham Mine, beginning with the initial construction of mine infrastructure before the mine opened in 1994. Since then, Golding has been involved in pre-stripping, bulk dozing for dragline assist, the removal of overburden, topsoil and some coal for this mine near Emerald in central Queensland.
Over the years, the contract has included construction of site infrastructure, roads, dams, boxcut and ramps. Achievements have included successful introduction of a larger mining fleet to reduce operating costs, and a doubling of production rates over a 2-year period.
BMA Gregory Coal Mine
Golding has a coal mining and hauling contract for BMA's Gregory mine, in central Queensland's Bowen Basin. Golding also has a dragline assist contract where bulk dozer push and truck excavator stripping is undertaken to meet the needs of the client. Other works performed at the site include surface excavation for Crinum East Underground mine and various civil infrastructure projects.
One of the newest coal mines in Queensland, Kogan Creek Coal Mine fuels the nearby Kogan Creek Power Station, for which Golding also constructed civil infrastructure. Overburden is removed by a 180 tonne excavator and a 180 tonne shovel and 150 tonne truck fleet. Coal is mined from the coal seams using 2 front end loaders and a fleet of 90 tonne trucks. It is delivered directly to the ROM (Run of Mine) pad crusher, from which coal is conveyed directly to the power station.
Initially, 5 million m3 of overburden will be excavated each year. Golding has been involved in this mine since the pre-operation phase, including liaison with the Traditional Owners, and the formation of environmental management plans. Golding has been awarded a 10-year mine operations contract at this site.
Bajool Marble Mine
Golding mines white calcite for Omya Australia Pty Limited at its Bajool Marble Mine on the central Queensland coast. Work involves loading and hauling of blasted caprock and in-pit ore to the ROM pad as well as removal of waste rock to the disposal areas constructed by Golding.
Mt Rawdon Gold Mine
Golding has a long-term mining contract for waste removal and delivery of ore to the crushing plant as well as construction of tailing dams. The mine is owned by Equigold PL and is located approximately 450km north of Brisbane.
