Yari Minerals presents a compelling investment opportunity through its Rolleston South Coal Project, located in Queensland’s premier Bowen Basin – a Tier 1 coal jurisdiction.

The project boasts a significant 151 Mt JORC Inferred Resource, uplifted by 91% based on 2021 coal seam gas well data, with an inaugural drill program designed to fast-track resource growth and development. 

Strategically positioned just 40 km from coal loading loops via direct state highway, Rolleston South benefits from unparalleled access to world-class infrastructure, including the Blackwater rail system and third-party export facilities at the Port of Gladstone, ensuring efficient delivery to global markets. With a large resource of high-quality coal and proximity to industry-leading mine infrastructure, Yari Minerals is poised to deliver substantial value to investors.

Major Highlights

Prime Location

Situated in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, near major operations like Glencore and Peabody, with direct access to state highways and rail infrastructure.

Significant Resource Upgrade

91% increase to 151 Mt JORC Inferred Resource, driven by 2021 coal seam gas well data, with further drilling planned for 2H 2025.

High-Quality Coal

Laboratory analysis confirms export-quality thermal coal with low ash (8%) and semi-soft metallurgical coal potential (CSN 2.5–4).Proximity to world class mining infrastructure

World-Class Infrastructure

Rolleston South’s proximity to the Blackwater Rail System, just 40 km away, ensures efficient access to coal loading facilities at the Port of Gladstone—one of the world’s largest commodity ports. The project is also accessible via major sealed state highways (Dawson and Carnarvon), connecting directly to Gladstone, 275 km away.

This robust infrastructure supports cost-effective logistics and seamless delivery to key Asian markets, positioning Rolleston South as a highly competitive project.

 

Why Queensland?

Queensland is a global leader in coal production, ranking as the world’s second-largest coal exporter with the third-largest reserves. In 2023, the coal industry contributed $83.7 billion to Queensland’s economy and $71.8 billion in export value. Supportive government policies, including the approval of 30 new resource leases since October 2024, underscore Queensland’s commitment to the sector.

Rolleston South benefits from this favorable environment, with access to world-class infrastructure and regulatory support driving project success.

Coal Quality

The Rolleston South Coal Project features high-grade coal from six significant seams (X, A–E) within the Bandanna Formation. Historical and laboratory data confirm:

  • Low ash content (~8%) with an 85% yield
  • High volatile matter and calorific value (24.33–27.98 Mj/kg)
  • Low sulphur and phosphorus levels
    Potential for semi-soft metallurgical coal (CSN 2.5–4)


These qualities make Rolleston South’s coal ideal for export thermal and metallurgical markets.
