Since Apr, 2020
SunHills Mining LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of TransAlta, assumed operation and management control of the Highvale Mine in 2013. Highvale is one of three TransAlta-owned coal mines and is Canada’s largest surface-strip coal mine covering more than 12,600 hectares
In operation since 1970, the Highvale Mine is located 70 km west of Edmonton on the south side of Lake Wabamun and supplies TransAlta’s Sundance and Keephills coal-fired power plants with sub-bituminous, low-sulphur coal.
Mining Operations
Currently, five pits are licensed in the mine. Highvale delivers approximately 8 million tonnes of low-sulphur coal each year to TransAlta’s Sundance, Keephills and Keephills 3 thermal generating plants.
The Highvale Mine is a surface coal mine that involves salvaging of topsoil and subsoil for later replacement, then removing overlying rock layers to expose and extract coal reserves, followed by reclamation of the mined area.
