Chinook coal project, Canada
Name of the Project
Chinook coal project.
Location
Crowsnest Pass, in Alberta, Canada.
Project Owner/s
Steelmaking coal developer Montem Resources.
Project Description
A scoping study has expanded on earlier conceptual mine planning work completed by Montem in 2018 and 2020, and has identified multiple zones of low-ratio mineable hard coking coal suitable for opencut mining.
The project has estimated mineral resources of 149.1-million tonnes of coal.
The primary design proposes a 1 000 t/h facility and washing in three stages to produce a primary hard coking coal product suitable for export to steelmakers.
The scoping study leverages existing rail, power and road infrastructure adjacent to the project.
