It is expected that the coal quality increases with thicker coal seams while initial raw ply coal quality are very encouraging, the company said.
All the intersections will be modeled with the aim of estimating a resource with the completion of Fox 3 while the estimation is likely to be completed later in March.
The coal quality results from the GU, GL1 and GL2 seams in Fox 6 drillhole on showed crucible swelling numbers (CSN) of 8 to 8.5, raw energy values greater than 7000Kcal/kg and some low raw ash and low sulphur results.
Earlier, Fox and International Coal had reached an information sharing arrangement aimed to enable the review of the resource as a whole and maximize the resource potential of the area.
