Potential Coal and Coalbed Methane Resource of the Telkwa Coalfield, Central British Columbia (93l/11)
sampling and desorption testing of fresh coal samples obtained from companies conducting exploration throughout the province. In addition methane adsorption isotherm tests arc: performed on some samples. During the summer of 1992 a project was undertaken to test coal seams intersected in the ongoing Manalta Coal Limited drilling program in the Telkwa coalfield. On-sitc activities consisted of t...
متن کاملA Review of Sulphur in Coal: with Specific Reference to the Telkwa Deposit, North-western British Columbia
The Jura-Cretaceous coal seams of the Currier, Mist Mountain, &thing and Gates formations generally formed in delta or strand plain environments with little marine influence. The sulphur contents of coal from these formations is therefore generally low, nearly always less than I % and often less than 0.5 %. Coalbearing formations of the Cretaceous Nanaimo and Skeena groups were deposited in coa...
متن کاملGeology and Potential Coal and Coalbed Methane Resource of the Tuya River Coal Basin
This article forms pan of an ongoing study of the coal and coalbed methane resource potential of northwestern British Columbia. Other areas under study include the Bower basin coalfield, Telkwa coalfield and Tertiary coalfields of the Bulkley Valley. Tertiary sediments survive in many major watersheds in British Columbia. The sediments are generally not well consolidated, poorly exposed and the...
متن کاملDensity of Coals from the Telkwa Coal Property, Northwestern British Columbia
INTRODUCTION It is important, for mining feasibility studies, to be able to accurately convert in situ coal volumes to tonnages using coal densities. The density of coal of c”nstant rank varies depending on the am”unt of included rock (mineral matter), water, and void porosity. Actual measurements of density often require adjustment because data are needed at different ash, water or porosity va...
متن کاملTectonically Altered Coal Rank, Boulder Creek Formation, Northeastern British Columbia
Fieldwork during the 1988 season involved investigation of the thermal affects of tectonic movement on vitrinite reflectance near the Quintette Coal Limited mining operation in northeastern British Columbia. Two samples, collected in 1987, from the same seam on either side of a fault, suggested a significant rank increase associated with the stmctwe. These sites were revisited and sampled toget...
