Coal Loading in Pits

Coal loosened by blasting before being loaded into haul trucks.

Blast Crew

BMA uses excavators to load the coal into rear dump trucks.

Coal Loading

We also use front end loaders and bottom dump trucks for extracting the coal.

Dragline Operations

Haul trucks transport the coal from the pit to the coal preparation plant.
