Brisbane, Australia – TerraCom Limited (ASX: TER) has confirmed that the life of its flagship Blair Athol Mine in Queensland has been extended to 2033, following an updated JORC Code Resource and Reserve assessment.

The 2025 update highlights Blair Athol’s ongoing performance as a long-life, low-cost cornerstone asset, underpinned by strong geology, disciplined mine planning, and sustained operational excellence. Despite annual depletion from mining and sales, Blair Athol has successfully maintained or extended its life of mine for four consecutive years.

Highlights

  • Life of Mine extended to 2033 based on an updated JORC assessment.

  • Marketable Coal Reserves of 14.0 Mt as at 30 June 2025, supporting ~8 years of production at 1.6–1.8 Mtpa.

Over the past four years, Blair Athol has consistently maintained or extended its Life of Mine despite annual depletion, underscoring the asset’s resilience in a softer price environment, and the effectiveness of our focus on operational excellence, safety and cost control.
