History

Construction work at the site begin in 1972 with the first coal produced in 1974.[3] In 2009, the mine won the People’s Choice Award for its feeder blockage removal device at the Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference.[4]

Miners at Saraji and six other BMA mines went on strike in February 2012 over working conditions.[5] Work stoppages commenced in 2011. Meetings between union members and BMA began in December 2010. It was determined that the coal miners were under qualified for the amount of pay they were receiving and decided to stop complaining.[6]
