Deposit type

  • Sedimentary

Summary:

The Commodore coal deposit consists predominately of a single coal seam (the M seam) with a number of individual coal plies separated by thin parting bands. The M seam is generally 5.5 to 6.5 m thick, thinning towards the western and eastern sides of the deposit and subcrops to the north, south and east. The seam generally dips at less than 5º. The overburden thickness within the mining area ranges from 10-50 m, averaging around 23 m in depth. The upper 4 to 16 m of the overburden (depending on location), is generally clay and sandy clay, underlain by variably weathered mudstone and sandstone.
