massive 6 months ahead - one to watch, page-78

i would run the ruler over the HUN prospectus given HUN had at least three areas of coal, that is, NW, SE and East

but for the Eastern section, i.e., HUN-ROB land, there is some good quality there & some not so good but the main trend seemed encouraging

the ash is high for a coking coal or anthracite but the carbon content and the Calorific Value look OK

AKM have 8812 kcal/kg(vs ROB 7,496 kcal/kg) and 27.1 VM (vs the low ROB anthracite-ish VMs below). but the AKM ash content is similarly a high 19%

need an expert to have a good look and i am too tired tonight and must go to bed

some Eastern HUn-ROB specs below:

This deposit is also stated to have the following properties from previous trench samples; 7,390 to 7,680 kcal/kg calorific value (daf), at 40 to 55.6% yield from the floatation concentrate (of unknown density). Carbon content of 85 to 91.9%, hydrogen 2 to 2.5%, volatile 7.5 to 10.6%, and moisture 4 to 5% were identified in the floated concentrate. The petrographic analysis of the coal gave 30 to 32% vitrinite, 8 to 10% semi vitrinite, 31 to 35% inertinite, 3 to 4% clayey mineral and 21 to 26% quartz and carbonate. Spectrum analysis indicated Sr 0.1 to 0.2% (4), Ce 0.02% (1), La 0.03% (1), Y (Yttrium) 0.008% and Yb (Ytterbium) 0.001 in chip samples collected from a coal seam. These results have not been verified.

Results of a grab sample taken by Adamas from this area in 2008 and analysed at MCLG are shown in Table 4-7.
