The beleaguered miner has less then two weeks to convince the Regulator it should not be shut down after telling the stock exchange of the ultimatum.
The Regulator contacted Wollongong Coal on February 2 asking it to “show cause” why it should not be suspended from operating.
The miner was convicted in court last year over failing to pay more than $288,000 in rent and fees to the NSW Government.
A spokesman for the Resources Regulator declined to say how much was owed, saying just that there were “compliance issues”.
Wollongong Coal told the stock exchange the decision was “preliminary only” and it was “considering its options”.
