Xstrata has announced plans to invest $A1.2 billion to develop a new underground thermal coal mine at the Ulan Coal site.

Pending government development and environmental approval, the new mine titled “Ulan West” will remain inside the Ulan Coal complex, complementing the Ulan No. 3 underground mine and using some of the sites existing infrastructure.

Xstrata plans to start building the Ulan West mine later this year, with first production estimated for 2014.
