The undamine story: 18 years of mining excellence

FROM VISION TO INDUSTRY LEADER

Undamine Industries began as a vision in 2005, when CEO Karla Way-McPhail sketched out her idea for a mining services company at her kitchen table in Middlemount. From these humble beginnings, Undamine has grown into one of Queensland’s most respected underground mining contractors.

What started as a small operation has expanded into a company that now employs over 500 skilled professionals and holds contracts with Australia’s leading mining companies, including:

  • Anglo American
  • Glencore
  • BMA
  • Kestrel Coal Resources
  • Fitzroy Mining

BUILDING ON EXCELLENCE

Our growth has been built on a foundation of exceptional service delivery, outstanding safety performance, and a commitment to putting people first. This approach has allowed us to:

  • Secure the longest-running underground contract in Central Queensland
  • Expand our operations across Queensland and into New South Wales
  • Develop innovative training programs through our sister company Coal Train
  • Create sustainable employment opportunities for regional communities
  • Build enduring partnerships with Tier-1 mining companies

VALUES THAT DRIVE US

Throughout our journey, we have remained committed to our core values, which define everything we do:

  • Putting people first, always
  • Maintaining the highest safety standards
  • Delivering exceptional service quality
  • Supporting regional communities
  • Creating sustainable employment opportunities
  •  Building long-term partnerships based on trust and performance

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

As we continue to grow, Undamine remains committed to supporting the black coal industry—the backbone of Queensland and the Australian economy—while creating opportunities for our employees and value for our clients.
