Geology
Rangal Coal Measures of Late Permian age dipping to the northeast
at shallow angles. Two coal seams of economic interest are present:
Leichhardt seam - 2.9m av; & Vermont seam - 5.8m av. The latter
splits gradually down dip into two & in some areas three splits to form
the Vermont Upper & Vermont Lower (or Vermont Lower 1 &
Vermont Lower 2) seams. The area is structurally disturbed, being
cut by northwest trending reverse faults which appear to be a
continuation of the Isaac & Burton Range fault systems as well as
normal faults to produce repeated & interrupted seam subcrops -
particularly east of the Isaacs Fault.
