The coal seams of the Project are medium volatile bituminous in rank and found within the Mist Mountain Formation of the Kootenay Group, which is Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous in age. The coal sequences in the Mist Mountain Formation consist of a cyclic succession of carbonaceous sandstone, mudstone, siltstone, coal, and some conglomerate. The main coal zones identified within the Mist Mountain Formation in this area, from top to bottom, are Zones 1, 2 and 4. Coal Resources and Coal Reserves estimates take into account the two thickest seams from Zones 1 and 4 and the single thickest seam from Zone 2. Zone 2 contains the thickest single seam.Grassy Mountain coal in the Mist Mountain Formation outcrop occurs in a general north-south direction for a strike length of approximately seven (7) km. The Mist Mountain Formation consists of 66 to 194 vertical metres of strata and is overlain by prominent, weather-resistant Blairmore conglomerate. The strata have been strongly folded and faulted, resulting in sediments and coal zones repeated in parallel bands. Coal deposits of this type are characterized by tight folds, some with steeply inclined or overturned limbs. Fault offsets are common but fault-bounded plates generally retain normal stratigraphic thicknesses. These characteristics suggest that the Grassy Mountain coal deposits should be categorized as “Complex” to “Severe” Geology Types.
