A company spokesperson told Australia's 88ֳ: "On Saturday September 1, Peabody identified abnormal gas readings via its gas monitoring system in a small area underground at our North Goonyella operation near Moranbah, Queensland.

"Peabody is working with the Queensland Mines Inspectorate and other stakeholders to resolve the situation and safely resume operations in the near future."
