Jameson in Final Stages of Recommissioning Coal Mine

Jameson Resources is in the final stages of recommissioning the Basin coal mine located in British Columbia, Canada.

Test work has found that the mine could generate export-quality thermal coal, according to steelguru.com.

Jameson is assessing the marketability of the Basin coal mine as a potential PCI blend, the news service said.

From bulk sample tests carried out at the site, typical coal quality was found to be 10.8% moisture, 12% ash and 0.56% sulphur.

A wash plant will be established to generate a clean coal product at 12% ash using ROM material at nearly 36% ash, steelguru.com said.

Jameson is waiting for authorisation to conduct a diamond drilling and trenching programme to the north of the open pit.
