Geology
Geological Problems Reported
There was no apparent faulting in this mine. The roof was good, with a competent limestone a few inches above the coal. One location of bad top was noted on the source map, in the NE NW 10-T9S-R3E, which appears to have prevented access to some reserves. The coal was high in sulfur; pyrite was separated at picking tables and by screening.
