Mine Life15 years (as of Jan 1, 2019)
Peace River Coal consists of Trend and Roman Mountain operations. Trend and Roman Mountain mines were placed on care and maintenance at the end of 2014. The Mineral Resources are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction based on current long-term economic assumptions.

Summary:

The Roman Project property is located directly south of the existing Trend Mine. Coal seams of economic interest are located in the Gates and Gething Formations as at the Trend Mine. The structure of the Roman Project coal seams consists of a large syncline the axis of which strikes northwest–southeast. The axis of the syncline plunges to the northwest. Typically the limbs of the syncline are dipping at angles between 40 and 65°.

There are several seams developed to thicknesses of potential economic interest (>1 m true thickness) in both the Gates and Gething Formations.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

A mine footprint and conceptual phasing for the open pit areas was developed for coal release from both the Gates and Gething pits in order to allow for blending. Volumetric analyses of the various pit phases revealed that the pit shells have relatively constant strip ratio progressing in sections from west to east, which simplifies balancing of coal and waste quantities over the project life. In addition, the phasing of the pits was developed to allow for backfilling of mined out pit areas where it was deemed feasible.

The open pit would be developed from west to east with mining of the lower western pit areas taking place first. Initial waste rock from these pits would be used to establish haul roads to the plant site. There are several plant site locations being considered including a location adjacent to the existing Trend Mine process plant. The majority of the waste rock would be placed in an external rock dump located in the upper drainage of Babcock Creek immediately south of the pits.

Mining of the upper pit areas, including the top of Roman Mountain, would take place later in the mine life and allow waste from the upper pit areas to be used to backfill the lower Project pit areas as well as backfilling the mined out Trend South block pits. As mining progresses beyond the western side of Roman Mountain, to allow for mining of the total Roman property, access to the eastern portion of the Gates and Gething pits would be developed from the eastern end of the Trend South block. Development of this haul road would allow for mining of the Gates syncline to the elevations where the coal seams daylight on the eastern slopes of Roman Mountain.

Summary:

Coal Processing and Handling.
A conceptual coal processing and handling circuit was developed. There are two plant site options for the Roman Project:

Option 1: Trend-Roman Combined Plant.
A new plant would be constructed adjacent to the existing Trend plant to service all production from South, Extension and Roman blocks.

Option 2: Trend-Roman Combined Plant–Loadout.
A new plant would be constructed between the Trend Bypass Road and the Trend rail load-out to service production from South, Extension and Roman blocks and potentially the Horizon Mine, a project currently in the pre-application phase of the provincial environmental assessment process.

Infrastructure Development.
Infrastructure development associated with the Roman Project is expected to include the following (in addition to the coal processing and handling infrastructure):
- water management structures, including in-pit sedimentation ponds;
- powerline an ........
