Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


Summary:

The Property consists of 12,943 hectares located just east of Sparwood, British Columbia. It is bounded by the Elk River to the west and Highway 3 to the south.

On the Property, the Mist Mountain Formation averages over 600 m in thickness and contains over 20 mineable coal seams, see Figure 4, Generalized Stratigraphic Column. Cumulative coal thickness is over 60 m. Seams range in rank from high- to low-volatile bituminous coal.

The Mist Mountain Formation consists of hard, competent, interbedded sandstones, siltstones, mudstones and coal seams. Strata consists of light to dark grey to grayish brown weathering siltstone, silty shale, mudstone, sandstone and thin to thick coal seams. Chert and quartzite pebble conglomerate and conglomeratic sandstone focally form conspicuous thin to thick interbeds in exposures near Sparwood. The sedimentary rocks contain well defined discontinuities in the form of bedding planes, faults, shears and joints. The bedding planes are the most continuous of the geological structures in the strata and typically exhibit persistence on the order of hundreds of meters. In general the bedding at the mine dips to the west and southwest at inclinations of 10º to 30º.

The aggregate thickness of the coal seams in the active mining area is about 60 m. The most important seam groups are 10, 8 and 7 that occur in the lower part of the sequence. Coal measures within the Property are contained within four areas that are either ac ........


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Elkview Operations (EVO) operates a metallurgical coal mine located in the Elk Valley approximately 3 km east of Sparwood, British Columbia.

The coal produced is a high-quality mid-volatile hard coking coal. Lesser quantities of lower-grade hard coking coal are also produced.

The mining process occurs in a conventional open pit, with preliminary drilling and blasting operations. Electric shovels are utilizing for loading mined material into haulage trucks.

The mining process occurs in a conventional open pit, with blasting occuring every two to three days. The mined material is lifted by electric shovels into the backs of haul trucks. The coal is then taken to a hopper facility, where a conveyor moves it 3.5 kilometres overland to a crusher.
