Glencore is one of Australia’s largest producers of coal for export, with 13 operational mines across New South Wales and Queensland.

We operate a mixture of open cut and underground coal mines and in 2025 managed the production of about 97 million tonnes of saleable thermal and steelmaking coal.

Coal is one of the world’s most reliable, abundant and affordable sources of energy and is also used in the production of steel and cement.  

Glencore’s coal business in Australia has a good track record of successful investment, project development, operational management and socio-economic contribution across Australia.
