Whitehaven Coal’s Narrabri Underground extension project is seeking to extend the life of its existing Narrabri thermal coal mine for another 13 years through to 2044. The mine is located in Gomeroi country, near Narrabri NSW in the Gunnedah coal field adjacent to the Pilliga state forest. The project will mine an additional 110 million tonnes of coal, increasing the total Run of Mine (ROM) coal mined from 170 million to 280 million tonnes.
