Australian Pacific Coal ( (AU:AQC) ) has provided an update.

Australian Pacific Coal has secured approval from the New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment for Dartbrook Modification 8, extending the operating life of the Dartbrook underground coal mine by six years to 5 December 2033. The extension provides a longer potential production horizon for the asset, which is a central component of the company’s coal portfolio.

The approval comes against the backdrop of ongoing corporate distress around the Dartbrook operations, including the appointment of voluntary administrators to Dartbrook Operations Pty Ltd and receivers and managers over the secured property of the mine. These restructuring measures, which also affect AQC’s Dartbrook subsidiaries, underscore the financial and governance complexity surrounding the project even as its permitted operating life is lengthened.
