Premier Coal is Western Australia's leading coal producer, mainly providing energy for the State's major electricity network.
The Company operates a modern state-of-the-art mine producing around 4 million tonnes of coal a year from the Collie Coal Basin. The Premier mine is located in the south-west of Western Australia, about 200 km by road, south of Perth.
Premier Coal has a proud history of mining in Western Australia, since 1950. The qualities of Premier's Collie coal are ideal for reliable, efficient electricity generation using future low-emission technology.
The Company places a high priority on effective safety and environmental management. With a strong focus on sustainable development and innovative mine site rehabilitation, Premier Coal is very focussed on leaving value after mining.
Collie is situated in the unique jarrah forests of WA. The region has been a centre for the timber industry for over 100 years and also services a significant farming area, including viticulture and aquaculture. The Collie region is very picturesque and is now a popular tourist destination.
Playing a large role in the south-west economy and the local community, Premier Coal provides employment, apprenticeships, commercial opportunities, sponsorships, scholarships and donations.
