The coal resource at the Stratford Mining Complex (SMC) is located within the Permian aged Gloucester Basin in NSW. The SMC is located in the central eastern flank of the north-south trending synclinal structure of the Gloucester Basin. In this area, a thick sequence of Carboniferous volcanics is overlain by late Permian sedimentary strata including coal seams. The Permian succession is divided into the following three groups (oldest to youngest):• Stroud Volcanics;• Dewrang Group; and• Gloucester Coal Measures. The target coal seams at the SMC are located within the Craven and Avon Subgroups of the Gloucester Coal Measures and within the Dewrang Group, including:• Marker [M7] Seams;• Bindaboo Seams;• Deards Seams;• Cloverdale Seams;• Roseville Seams;• Bowens Road Seams;• Avon Seams;• Glenview Seams;• Marker 2 Seams;• Triple Coal Seams;• Cheer-up Seams;• Clareval Seams; and• Rombo Coal Seams.The Cloverdale, Roseville, Marker, Bowens Road and Avon Seams have been previously mined at the SMC. Coal seams in the project area are generally of constant thicknesses except to the east where thrust faulting has thickened and repeated strata, which is further complicated by the steeply dipping syncline structure.
