PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Prairie Mining has reported a maiden resource estimate of 301-million tonnes at its Debiensko hard coking coal project, in Poland.
Some 93-million tonnes of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource is estimated in the indicated category, with a further 208-million tonnes estimated as inferred.
“With this maiden coal resource now established, we can evaluate a number of technical options for the scoping study which will assist us in rapidly advancing the development of a new hard coking coal supply for European steelmakers,” said Prairie CEO Ben Stoikovich.
A scoping study on the Debiensko project is due in the current quarter, and Stoikovich said that the company was fully committed to rapidly progressing works at the mine site to bring the project back into production.
