No action against toxic fume mine

A southern Queensland mine was acting within health and safety regulations when it blasted toxic fumes beyond the limits of a safety zone, a state government investigation has found.

New Hope Coal's New Acland mine, northwest of Toowoomba, was ordered to suspend blasting on October 6.

The Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) was investigating a toxic fume that was released from the mine on September 5.
