New Hope gains Qld approval for Colton coal mine

The Queensland government has granted mining lease approvals for the three tenements making up ASX-listed New Hope Corporation’s proposed A$300-million Colton coal mine.

New Hope MD Shane Stephan on Thursday welcomed the development, saying the approval, which was provided after a thorough review of the potential impact of the project, demonstrated that the environmental credentials of the project stacked up.
