Coal mining geology
Applied coal geology is our sole concern, specialising in the coalfields
and
associated energy resources of Western Canada and the Pacific Rim. We've been doing this since the mid-1970s, and enjoying it as we've followed the coal trade through four boomtimes and four downtimes, into what appears to be a fifth boomtime nowadays.
Our principal geologist is Gwyneth Cathyl, MCIM, RMSME, P.Geo.
(B.C.), Lic.Geol. (Washington) who has published a few rather obscure
technical papers on the geology and development of coal and energy
resources
in Alberta and British Columbia, and is co-author of a geological atlas of the principal coalfields of Vancouver Island.
Offered are the following services:
- Geological studies and resource evaluations (compliant with National Instrument 43-101 if desired by client) of coal and shale properties (particularly within British Columbia).
- Mining studies of the extent, possible present conditions, and
remediation
options for abandoned underground mines beneath development sites.
- Surface and underground geological mapping of coal mines and
mining
properties.
- Planning, budgeting, field supervision and after-the-fact reviews of exploration programmes.
- Review and commentary on technical plans and reports.
- Planning and conducting field trips for visiting scientists and
dignitaries.
- Public education and expert advice to non-profit groups, to which our
virtual
library of Vancouver Island coal is dedicated.
Contacting us:
To be clear, fieldwork or poking about at the coalface is a far finer endeavour than the daily
routine of the office. We are therefore more findable via e-mail
or mobile phone, than by any other means.
Our e-mail address is:
coalmine@island.net
Our mobile telephone number is:
(978) 3O2-769l
Landline, for those who care to use it (with the caveat that nobody might be in the office to answer the phone), is:
(25O) 336-2895
