PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Atrum Coal’s wholly-owned subsidiary Kuro Coal has reported a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource of 36-million tonnes at its Elan South area, within the Elan hard coking coal project, in Alberta.
The resource includes a seven-million-tonne indicated resource and a 29-million-tonne inferred resource, with Atrum also reporting an additional exploration target of 200-million tonnes.
“Elan South is progressing on schedule and we are expecting that the exploration planned in 2018 will establish Elan South as a substantial hard coking coal project,” said Atrum MD Max Wang on Thursday.
The Elan South deposit is the southernmost project within the Elan hard coking coal project and consists of four contiguous coal lease applications covering 6 140 ha of the total 22 951 ha project area.
