Different to The Ewington No.1 and No. 2 Mindat localities, which are historic small pits, largely gobbled up by the huge modern strip mining of the Ewington Coal Mine. Located 2 to 8 kilometres east of Collie, the workings trending north-west to south-east, and directly north of the Coalfields Highway. The site contains a rail loading facility, with the Collie and Blue Water power stations a short distance to the north in farmland.
The mine is situated in the Collie Basin, which forms two sub-lobes named Cardiff at 151 square kilometres, and Premier at 74 square kilometres, separated by a faulted basement high called the Stockton Ridge.
The basin contains Permian sediment rocks covered by a thin layer of Cretaceous rocks. The base is pebbly mudstone, covered by layers of sandstone, shale and coal. The basin contains up to 55 significant coal seams, 1.5 to 5 metres thick, the largest at the Muja mine being Hebes at 13 metres thick.
