In the Lila Canyon area, there were primarily two coal seams located in the Blackhawk Formation: the Upper Sunnyside and the Lower Sunnyside. The two seams had merged in some places within the Lila Canyon holdings, but in most areas, they were separate. Where separate, only one split was mineable due to the thin separation between the two splits; the separation averaged 0 to 30 feet. The Upper Sunnyside seam averaged 12.4 feet thick according to estimates in the Lila Canyon Mine R2P2 and in the MRP. The Lower Sunnyside seam was much thinner (0 to 5.7 feet) (BLM 2000). Therefore, the Upper Sunnyside was the seam of interest on this property. The seam was considered to be moderately gassy (i.e., methane) and was of excellent quality, at 8% ash, 0.8% sulfur, and in excess of 12,000 British thermal units per pound, as-mined.
