Dendrobium Coal Pty Ltd is an underground black coal mine located in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. It is owned by South32 and produces coal 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
Production times were lengthy due to the amount of setup work required – pump cart/sprayer, forklift to transport three heavy 1,000 litre IBCs, plus a trailer to tow them. The lengthy production times resulted in an increase to production costs.
