Re-entry to a Central Queensland mine began on Friday, more than two months after elevated gas levels prompted an evacuation of the site.
Anglo American’s Moranbah North Mine was given the green light for re-entry following approval from Resources Safety and Health Queensland.
The move, which came a day after the one-year anniversary of Anglo’s Grosvenor mine explosion, marks the first step towards resuming mining operations.
Anglo’s metallurgical coal business chief executive Tyler Mitchelson said the Moranbah North re-entry team had safely entered the mine to undertake safety and compliance inspections, and restore operating systems.

Dear valued subscribers,
We have some great news to share with you, and we wanted you to hear it from us first.
Ten months ago, as you joined the Daily Mercury on its digital transition when the traditional print edition closed, we made a commitment to Mackay and our readers to deliver the news first.
And as you have continued to support the local journalism our team in the Mackay region produces, it is only fair you learn of this right here, in your inbox and on our website.
The Daily Mercury’s beloved print edition will be revived in a weekly publication that brings you the news of the week in that tactile manner so many of you love.
