Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English The Dawson coal mine is an open-cut coal mine south-east of Moura in Central Queensland, Australia. The mine includes three mining areas; Dawson North, Dawson Central and Dawson South that share common infrastructure. The Dawson coal mine lies in the Baralaba Coal Measures of the Bowen Basin.[1]

Coking, soft coking and thermal coal have all been produced at the mine.[2] Anglo American has owned the mine since mid-2002.[1] Mining in the area began in 1961 in what was known as the Moura Mine. The mine was the first to export a shipment of Queensland's coking coal to Japan.[2] It was also the first mine to introduce draglines into its operation in 1963.[3]

The coal is exported by Gladstone to the Barney Point and R G Tanna coal terminals.[1] Dawson coal mine has implemented an extensive rehabilitation program.[4]
