the specs below are probably from "Coal Occurrence 1", so they are much better than the poor (high ash, low energy) specs from the drill hole 11-03:
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.
