Cornwall Coal is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cement Australia. The company states that the company "operates underground and open cut coal mines, and a coal washing and processing plant" and employs "over 70 people".[1] Cement Australia operates a cement plant at Railton on the north-west cost of Tasmania.

In its 2008-2009 annual report, Mineral Resources Tasmania, the government agency regulating the mining industry, stated "Cornwall Coal NL continued underground mining at the Duncan Colliery at Fingal. Despite some difficulties, mining of the Fenton seam at Mount Nicholas commenced after portal construction was completed for the Blackwood No. 4 mine. Open-cut mining in the Fingal Valley continued at the Cullenswood mine, and at the Kimbolton mine in the Derwent Valley."[2]
