One of Australia's leading rail freight companies says it is willing to service Adani's Carmichael mine.

Adani flatly rejects this, maintaining that the Carmichael project is already delivering"jobs and opportunities to regional Australia", with construction of the mine underway and that the Adani Group is fully committed to developing the mine and railway.

In any event, Aurizon reckons the question of whether it will haul coal from Adani's mine is moot — because the job hasn't even been put to tender. He argued that the threat of going it alone was most likely"a bargaining chip to use in negotiations" with an outsourced provider.Whatever way it plays out, rail haulage is critical for Adani's Carmichael mine.

Instead, it now plans a narrow-gauge spur line less than half that length to link to Aurizon's Central Queensland Coal Network. A slew of businesses has declined to work on the Adani coal project, angering the federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan, who's called for companies that shun the Indian conglomerate to be"blackballed" from the mining industry.

"Being in the business of minerals haulage, we would not rule out providing rail haulage services to get exports to market."
