PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Coal explorer Celsius Coal has reported a 40-million-tonne increase at its Uzgen Basin coking coal project, in the Kyrgyz Republic, taking the project’s total resource estimate to 295-million tonnes.

The project’s inferred resource increased by 35-million tonnes, to 60-million tonnes, at the Kokkia deposit, while a five-million-tonne increase in the inferred resource at the Kargasha deposit increased the inferred resource to 235-million tonnes.

“Much of the aim of this year’s drilling programme was the first exploratory work in the Kokkia area of the Uzgen Basin coking coal project. We’re very happy with the 140% increase in inferred resource in this area of the deposit, and this builds upon the favourable coal quality data we have received from the drilling works to date, both at Kokkia and Kargasha,” said Celsius technical director Alistair Muir.

The company was now continuing with its laboratory tests and had started openpit mining studies on the Kokkia deposit and auger mining studies on various prospective areas of both deposits.
