What is the West Muswellbrook Exploration Project? Idemitsu Australia Resources, Muswellbrook Coal Company (MCC), is seeking to continue its operations in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales. The West Muswellbrook Exploration Project commenced in 2009, when MCC was granted Assessment Lease 19 (AL 19) by the New South Wales Government over 8,101 hectares of land located 18 kilometres west of Muswellbrook. A lease renewal application has been lodged and is currently under consideration by the New South Wales Government. Renewal of AL 19 for an additional five-year term will allow further exploration and assessment work required to identify a viable, lower impact, underground mining operation. How can I find out more?
