The first coal from the Galilee Basin in Queensland central west is being mined and transported to port this month.
Hancock Coal has approval to truck coal from a test pit near Alpha to the Ensham mine near Blackwater where it'll be railed to the Gladstone port for export to Asia. The seven-day a week operation will involve type one roadtrains and will last for about 15 weeks.
Mr Rob Chandler Barcaldine mayor says it's an indication plans for massive coal projects in the region are moving ahead. He said that "The companies that are right there, the three or four sites there at Alpha are talking about 20 billion tonnes of thermal coal and are talking about pulling it out at 120 million tonnes per year."
He added that "It's a massive deposit. It's the tryanny of distance, though, to get it to port, but while the coal price is like it is, I think these mines seem to be viable and these companies are moving forward."

Loan Opportunity Offered By Mr, Benjamin That Save My Family From Financial Bondage { lfdsloans@outlook.com}
Hello Everyone, I am Putri Adiratnaa single mom from Jakarta, I would like to share this great testimony on how I got a loan from Mr, Benjamin, when we were driven out of our home when I couldn't pay my bills anymore, After being scammed by various companies online and denied a loan from my bank and some other credit union I visited. My children were taken by the foster care, I was all alone in the street. The day i shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to Daisy Maureen. At first I told her that I am not ready to take any risk of requesting a loan online anymore, but she assured me that I will receive my loan from them. On a second thought, due to my homelessness I had to take a trial and applied for the loan, luckily for me I received a loan of $80,000.00 from Mr, Benjamin. I'm happy I took the risk and applied for the loan. My kids have been given back to me and now I own a home and a business of my own. All thanks and gratitude goes to the help of Mr, Benjamin for giving me a meaning to life when i had lost all hope.
