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