BHP Billiton Illawarra Coal invests in longwall mining equipment

BHP Billiton Illawarra Coal has invested $23 million in a new longwall sheerer.

The miner says that the investment for its Appin Mine is part of the company's long-term commitment to mining in the area.

The company says that the purchase will reduce down-time between mining different sites because it will enable it to prepare new sites for mining before finishing in an existing area.
