Terrace (Underground)

Terrace Underground Mine is located on the northeast edge of Reefton township near the southern limit of Reefton Coalfield and had a long history as a private mine before being purchased by Solid Energy in 1988. Reefton is ideally located as a coal distribution centre, as it is on or near main roads to Blenheim, Nelson and Christchurch and adjacent to the main trunk railway line to Canterbury, as well as many smaller markets. The seam worked at Terrace is up to 20 metres thick, but generally 6 to 10 metres. Coal from the mine generally supplies South Island industrial customers.
