Geology
Coal resources occur in two major coal seams up to 7m thick and
several minor seams around 2.5m thick in Reids Dome Beds of Early
Permian age, dipping approximately 3 degrees to the northeast in a
series of east northeast trending fault blocks. The coal measures are
unconformably overlain by varying thicknesses of Cainozoic cover,
including extensive basalt. Inferred resources of approximately 800
million tonnes have been estimated from the two major seams.
