Overview
Bathurst Resources is New Zealand's largest coal-specialist mining company.
We produce over 2.2 million tonnes of coal each year and proudly employ over 550 people.
About 80 percent of our production is used for steel making of which one third is used by local Kiwi steel producers.
Our high-quality, thermal-grade coal fuels are used to help drive the engines of many iconic food and dairy businesses.
The Stockton Opencast Mine is located close to the coast on a plateau in the Buller coalfield, 35 km north of Westport.
This is one of New Zealand's largest mines with a long history of coal production and produces high value coal for export to the world's leading steel makers.
Situated in the heart of the Buller region our employees enjoy a balance of work and leisure with local pursuits including a variety of water sports, mountain-biking, tramping, fishing, community activities and much more.
