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 Extension” is excluded from the current study.Strike lengths for each of the three prospects are: North Block – 1.5km, South Block - 4.4km and Southern Extension – 4.1km.The major seams in the North Block are structurally bound within a south plunging syncline, extending from surface to a maximum depth of 155m. Coal seams in the South Block extend from surface to a maximum depth of 150m and are structurally bound within a syncline that has been truncated by the thrust fault and only the east limb of the syncline remains.The Southern Extension is a continuation of the South Block coal measures. Based on structural mapping, there is evidence for increased structural complexity.
