Longwall operations have restarted at an evacuated Central Queensland mine almost a month after crews were given the green light to re-enter the site.
In a statement, Anglo American said mining operations had safely restarted at Moranbah North mine, in line with regulatory approvals.
Production is expected to ramp up over coming weeks.
Operations at the site were suspended on February 20, 2021 following a heating event in a longwall panel.
CFMEU mining and energy Queensland president Stephen Smyth said the union’s industry safety and health representative was reviewing Moranbah North’s risk assessments for the restart of operations.
