Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


Summary:

The Aquila is planning to extract reserves from the Aquila and Aquila Lower seams, which occur in the upper part of the German Creek formation.


Mining Methods

  • Longwall


Summary:

The project comprises a single longwall underground mine and supporting infrastructure. The operation will target two seams, the Aquila and Aquila Lower coal seams. The depth of the Aquila seams from the surface varies from approximately 70 metres up to 280 metres with a nominal seam height ranging from 1.8 metres to 2.2 metres.

The longwall will be supported by two continuous miner development units with ROM coal transferred from the underground development and longwall mining units via a new underground conveyor belt system to a new surface conveyor and onto an expanded ROM stockpile.
