The Minerals Council of Australia is deeply saddened by the recent fatalities at the Byerwen Coal Mine in the Bowen Basin.
The MCA extends its sympathies to the families and mates of both miners, as well as the entire workforce at Byerwen Coal Mine. We also extend our condolences to the QCoal team during this difficult time. This is a close-knit industry, and we understand the impact this incident has on all those involved.
Safety is and will always remain the highest priority for the minerals industry. We are committed to working tirelessly to eliminate fatalities, injuries, and occupational illnesses from our operations.
We encourage those affected to seek support from services such as Lifeline, Beyond Blue, or their employee assistance programs.
