Summary:
Bituminous coal is mined from the Permian Rangal Coal measures. Produces a range of coking coal and pulverised coal injection (PCI) coal.
Coking and thermal coal resources are contained within seams in the Rangal Coal Measures of Late Permian age, located in a drag syncline on the upthrown eastern side of an extension to the Burton Range Fault. Two coal seams are present: Leichhardt seam — 4–6m of durainous coal and; the Vermont Upper seam — 1–2m of bright coking coal. The latter is underlain by up to 5m of high ash dull coal, which contains the Yarrabee tuff marker.
