A 33-year-old man has been killed in a workplace accident at a mine in central Queensland, police have confirmed.
Emergency services were called to the Curragh coal mine, 30 kilometres north of Blackwater, just before 4:30pm (local time) on Sunday.
At 8:30pm, crews were still at the scene.
The police will now prepare a report for the coroner.
Mining company Thiess, which has operated the mine site since 2004, has been contacted for comment.
The death is the eighth fatality the state's mining industry has seen in the past two years.
Five Queensland mine workers died at work during 2019.
