Bathurst Resources Information

As New Zealand’s largest specialist coal company, we produce over 2.2 million tonnes of coal each year and proudly employ over 550 people. At Bathurst, we understand and accept the challenge of responsible mineral extraction and supply. We’re here to ensure our customers receive exactly what they want, when they need it. But we’re just as committed to protecting the unique environment we all share. An ASX-listed company, we began our New Zealand operations in 2011 and now have mining facilities in Southland, Canterbury, Waikato and the West Coast. In 2017, we expanded by forming a joint venture with Talley’s Energy and acquired three mines from the former state owned coal company, Solid Energy: Stockton (West Coast) Rotowaro (Waikato) Maramarua (Waikato) Helping fuel the growth of New Zealand Inc. Almost 75% of our production is used for steel making of which one third is used by a local Kiwi steel mill. Our high-quality, thermal-grade coals fuels are used to help drive the engines of many iconic South Island food and dairy businesses. Our Denniston and Stockton resources are well-known for their excellent quality. With low ash and high fluidity, these coals are highly sought after by international steelmakers and will form the basis of our upcoming export operations. We’re more than just a mining business. The world is constantly changing and so are we. Which is why we maintain a strong commitment to manage the social and environmental impacts of mining. As you’ll see, we take great care to look after our people, the communities we work in and the environment we all share.
