1. Rolleston South boasts a 222.9Mt JORC Coal Resource, including 33.7Mt Indicated.
2. Arcadia Coal Project hosts a reported 282Mt JORC 2012 Mineral Resource.
These projects offer significant upside potential; both are strategically positioned to capitalise on the region’s rich coal-bearing geology, offering substantial opportunities for resource growth and value creation.
Upon completion of the proposed Arcadia acquisition, Yari’s reported coal resource base would increase to more than 500Mt across two complementary projects in the broader Rolleston coal district. Poised for substantial shareholder value in a strengthening coal market.
More information on the proposed Arcadia acquisition can be found in Yari’s ASX announcements dated 3 & 7 August 2026.
Key Investment Highlights
Situated in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, near major operations like Glencore and Peabody, with direct access to state highways and rail infrastructure.
Rolleston South increased to a 222.9Mt JORC Coal Resource, with 33.7Mt Indicated. The pending acquisition of Arcadia will further Yari's footprint in the area to over 500Mt.
Results confirm very low raw ash, low sulphur, and favourable washability characteristics. Modelling indicates a 7–8% ash product may be achievable at approximately 85% yield through conventional processing.
Rolleston South’s proximity to the Blackwater Rail System, just 40 km away, ensures efficient access to coal loading facilities at the Port of Gladstone – one of the world’s largest commodity ports.
The project is also accessible via major sealed state highways (Dawson and Carnarvon), connecting directly to Gladstone, 275 km away.
This robust infrastructure supports cost-effective logistics and seamless delivery to key Asian markets, positioning Rolleston South as a highly competitive project.
Queensland is a global leader in coal production, ranking as the world’s second-largest coal exporter with the third-largest reserves.
In 2023, the coal industry contributed $83.7 billion to Queensland’s economy and $71.8 billion in export value. Supportive government policies, including the approval of 30 new resource leases since October 2024, underscore Queensland’s commitment to the sector.
Rolleston South benefits from this favorable environment, with access to world-class infrastructure and regulatory support driving project success.
The Rolleston South Coal Project features high-grade coal from six significant seams (X, A–E) within the Bandanna Formation. Historical and laboratory data confirm:
These qualities make Rolleston South’s coal ideal for export thermal and metallurgical markets.
