Ohai (Opencast)

Ohai Opencast Mine, at Ohai in Southland, is the replacement for the Wairaki No. 6 Underground Mine which closed in August 2003. In February 2003 W.Stevenson & Sons Ltd (Ohai Mining) won the contract to prove the long-term commercial viability of an opencast mine at Ohai, carrying out overburden stripping and the initial coal winning in a pilot area. An extensive drilling programme completed in early 2003 confirmed resources of 2 million tonnes, enough to supply existing Ohai coal customers for 15 years at current forecasted sales.
