Bathurst Resources Limited, in partnership with its joint venture BT Mining Limited, has successfully reopened the Tawhai Tunnel following extensive repairs. The tunnel is crucial for coal transportation from the Stockton mine to Lyttleton Port. The temporary road freight plan that was put in place allowed continued operations with minimal disruption, retaining all mine employees. With the reopening, Bathurst plans to significantly increase coal exports to meet its sales targets by implementing a 7-day rail logistics plan, enhancing its capacity beyond what was achieved through road freighting.
