SYDNEY, April 28 (Reuters) - BHP Billiton (BHP.AX: Quote, Profile, Research)(BLT.L: Quote, Profile, Research) said it will start detailed talks with Australia's Queensland state government over the construction of a new coal export terminal as it beefs up its exports.
The new port, located at the state's existing Abbot Point terminal, is needed to meet growth projections for exports of coal used in steel making from the Bowen Basin collieries, BHP said. (Reporting by James Regan; Editing by Balazs Koranyi)
