An Australian inquiry into a blast at an Anglo American coal mine in Queensland state that seriously injured five workers found that the miner repeatedly produced more methane gas than it could remove and had exposed workers to excessive risk.

Mining activities at Anglo’s Grosvenor mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin were halted after the May 2020 explosion that triggered a government inquiry. Activities resumed earlier this month ahead of a staged restart.
