Wilkie Creek Mine Reborn: Nathan Boom and Craig Ransley Lead Successful Revival, Securing Australian Jobs and Economic GrowthQueensland, Australia – [21/2/25] – In a major boost for the Australian mining industry and local communities, seasoned mining executives Nathan Boom and Craig Ransley have successfully brought Wilkie Creek Mine out of receivership, securing its future as a key supplier of high-grade thermal coal to the Asian market. The transaction was officially closed and effectuated within the past few days, marking the beginning of a new era for the Surat Basin’s premier mining operation.Under the expert leadership of Boom and Ransley, Wilkie Creek Mine is set to ramp up production to 2.8 million tonnes per year, with a strong emphasis on delivering high-quality thermal coal to Asia’s energy markets.

The reopening of the mine represents a significant economic win for Australia, ensuring hundreds of jobs for local workers and revitalising regional supply chains.“This is a defining moment for Wilkie Creek, its workers, and the broader Australian economy,” said Nathan Boom, who played a key role in structuring the successful acquisition and turnaround strategy. “With Craig’s deep industry expertise and our shared vision for sustainable resource management, we are not just reopening a mine—we are building a future-focused operation that will continue to evolve long after coal production is completed.”Sustainable Future: Eco Energy, Waste-to-Power & Eco Farming InitiativesBeyond its immediate role as a leading coal producer, the revitalised Wilkie Creek operation is set to transform into a long-term hub for sustainable innovation. Recognising the importance of responsible land use and energy transition, Boom and Ransley are laying the groundwork for post-mining development, including: • Eco Energy & Waste-to-Power Projects: Plans are in motion to repurpose key infrastructure into renewable energy initiatives, including waste-to-power technology that converts residual materials into clean, sustainable energy for local and international markets. • Eco Farming & Land Rehabilitation: Once coal mining operations conclude, Wilkie Creek will transition into a large-scale eco-farming operation, utilising rehabilitated land to support regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration efforts.“Our vision for Wilkie Creek extends far beyond coal,” added Craig Ransley, whose decades of mining and corporate turnaround experience were pivotal in navigating the complex restructuring process. “This mine has a second life—one that will focus on renewable energy, environmental rehabilitation, and long-term economic sustainability for the region.”A Win for Australia’s Economy and Regional JobsThe reopening of Wilkie Creek will generate hundreds of direct jobs and thousands more through indirect employment in transportation, equipment, and services. With strong demand from key Asian markets, the operation is set to reinforce Australia’s standing as a leading supplier of high-quality thermal coal, ensuring stability and growth in the nation’s resource sector.“We are incredibly proud to bring this mine back to life,” said Boom. “It’s about creating real jobs, driving economic growth, and positioning Australia as a leader in both resource production and sustainable land use transformation.”With operations now resuming at full pace, Wilkie Creek is once again a powerhouse of Australian mining, proving that with expert leadership, strategic vision, and a commitment to sustainability, the future of mining can be both profitable and responsible.- END DYOR.
