Geology
Coal occurs in Rangal Coal Measures of Late Permian age, dipping
gently at approximately 2 degrees to the southwest. Four coal seams
are present which are variable in distribution and thickness due to
seam splitting. They are: Aries, Castor, Pollux & Orion seams. The
Pollux seam is the only continuous seam with a typical seam
thickness generally exceeding 3m and up to 7m in two local areas.
Significant thicknesses of Cainozoic basalt overlie the deposit.

Comments
In February 2002, Swiss-based commodities group Xstrata Plc purchased the share previously held by Glencore International AG
through Enex Togara Pty Ltd. In June 2002, a native title agreement was reached between the mining company, the local peoples,
and the Gurang Land Council, paving the way for the project to procees. Development is now pending further environmental and
feasibility studies and the grant of a mining lease.
