The prospecting permit process to begin drilling operations at the coal project continues, and Mission Engineering of Montana has been retained to prepare and submit a coal prospecting permit application to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.
American Power’s planned drilling program consists of 61 drilling locations and will involve a total of 52,740ft of drilling.
The program aims to place a significant portion of the coal holdings of the Pace Coal Project in the proven and probable reserve classification, with an ultimate goal of establishing sufficient resources to support a greater than 20-year operational mine life, the company said.
