The Boardwalk group (Boardwalk) was founded by Nathan Tinkler, the original sponsor and now major shareholder of Aston Resources Limited, which is developing the Maules Creek coal project in the Gunnedah Basin of NSW, approximately 360km northwest of Newcastle.
Aston is a listed public company and has a market capitalisation of approximately $1.8 billion.
Nathan was also the original sponsor of the successful Middlemount coal project in Queensland’s Bowen Basin before Macarthur Coal purchased it in December 2007 for $275 million.
