The original five year mining Contract was awarded in 2011 and included; clear and grubbing, long and short term detailed mine scheduling and planning, drilling and blasting including design, load and haul of 36 million BCM of overburden each year plus approximately two million tonnes of coal. In February 2013, the new owners and NRW Holdings Limited reached an agreement to restructure the Mining Services Contract with Middlemount Coal JV into a Dry Hire Contract. As both Peabody Energy and Yancoal are coal mine operators it was a logical step for the Middlemount Coal JV to become the operator of the Middlemount Mine. As part of the new arrangement NRW now provides ongoing maintenance services for the fleet. The original contract was due for completion in June 2016, but has been extended to June 2020. The Dry Hire Contract value is approximately $830 million.
