Bandanna Energy Managing Director Dr Ray Shaw said the agreements were an important milestone in progressing the company's flagship projects.

"We see this as a significant step in the development of the projects and look forward to working with the Kairi people to further develop the projects in a manner which respects the cultural integrity of the area," Dr Shaw said.

The Company has an allocation of 4 Mtpa in Stage 1 of the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal development, which will see it able to ship first coal from approximately mid 2014.
