Ensham Resources

Ensham Mine is an existing underground bord and pillar coal mine located approximately 35 km east of Emerald and 50km north-west of Blackwater. Underground operations commenced in 2011, with progressive rehabilitation continuing over the mine’s life. Ensham proudly hosts Nogoa Pastoral livestock in and around mining and rehabilitation areas as a joint business. Open-cut rehabilitation works commenced in 2022 and have recently received industry accolades. We are very proud of the ongoing work and the achievements our team has accomplished. Ensham has been a significant contributor to the Emerald community since 1993 and, for the past 25 years, has supported regional employment and local businesses. Ensham is committed to working with our local communities to create sustainable outcomes. The continued employment of the existing workforce at the Ensham Mine is of strategic economic and social significance to the Emerald locality and wider Central Highlands region. Ensham Mine is operated by Ensham Resources Pty Ltd (Ensham), with joint shareholders comprising of Sungela Pty Ltd (85%) and Bowen Investment (Australia) Pty Ltd (15%). Sungela acquired their stake in Ensham mine in late 2023 with the support of their shareholders.
