Mine Life15 years (as of Jan 1, 2021)
The Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project has been advanced through exploration and coal quality work, Preliminary Economic Assessment, a PreFeasibility Study completed in 2014, an Updated Pre-Feasibility in 2017, the release of the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) in July 2020 and the Yield Optimisation Study completed in Aug 2021.

The Company completed all environmental technical studies including baseline work, terrestrial modelling, flora and fauna studies, air, ground water and surface water modelling completed in June 2021.

The EA Application was completed in April 2022 and submitted to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) for review. It is anticipated that the formal technical review of the Application will commence in late 2023.

Summary:

The Crown Mountain Coal project lies within the Elk Valley coal field in southeast British Columbia, Canada.

The property is divided into three structural domains with separate geological attributes. The domains are referred to as the North Block, South Block and the Southern Extension Block. The Crown Mountain thrust fault (“CMF”) separates the North Block from the South Block. The Southern Extension Block is not part of the BFS.

Coal seams are hosted within the Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Mist Mountain Formation. The coal bearing Mist Mountain Formation is underlain by the Morrissey Formation which includes the regional cliff forming Moose Mountain Member.

Drilling has intersected three principal seams, named Seam 8, Seam 9 and Seam 10. The Seam 8 and 10 consist of three major plies – Upper, Middle and Lower. The term major seam has been defined to include all seven seams in order to distinguish them from other coal horizons referred to as rider seams.

The seven major seams have combined average net coal zone thickness of 28.0m in the North Block and 14.5m in the South Block.

Dimensions
The Crown Mountain property is divided into two distinct structural domains separated by a northerly trending thrust fault or CMF. There are three prospects within the project area, the “North Block” which is positioned above the CMF and the “South Block” and “Southern Extension” which are both below the CMF. The “Southern Extensi ........


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Given the shallow geology of the resource, all mining at the Crown Mountain Project is open pit. Mining equipment includes excavators, front-end loaders, and haul trucks, supported by dozers, backhoes, and blasthole drills. This type of equipment is typical for Elk Valley mining operations, and includes equipment specific to selective mining in certain thinner seams present on the property. The majority (90%) of overburden removal is projected to require blasting.

The mine plan has been sequenced to extract the low strip ratio North block first, followed by the smaller East block (a subset of the South block, but a distinctly higher quality and discrete mine pit) and ultimately the large South block, from South to North. After pre-stripping, North block coal is mined.

Pit slopes and berm width/spacing were determined after review of available geotechnical information. A permit level (detailed) pit wall design report has been completed. Additional geotechnical data will be collected to support future detailed mine planning.

Pit optimization was based on a strip ratio of 18.5:1 ROM tonne break-even stripping ratio analysis using hard coking coal benchmark price of USD$165.

The minimum mineable seam thickness is 0.5m.
