''btw...BM sulphur ~3% we know (sulphur is a major nasty... the BM crew avoid objective discussion on this - usually met with "maybe this discount maybe that" - fact is sulphur is toxic to coal buyers and who knows what BM BCE "could" sell for)...anyone know the BM ash content? Volatile content?''

The following figures were extracted from the recent BM JORC

the recent scoping study is an interesting read too !

ECONOMICALLY VIABLE,,,, ? ( Qualatative statement only )

Maddingly 1.6b Tonnes,, Water 52.9%, Ash 10.4%, Volatile matter 47.2% (db), fixed carbon 42.4% (db), GDSE 24.5 MJ/kg and Suphur 3.4% (db)

That's 28 million tonnes of sulphur, ( that's a sulphur mine number,,, ) plus negative 3 billion dollars worth of overburden that needs to be added to any accurate scoping study,,, plus a very expensive to dig and to run, geothermal shaft. ,,, oh ,, and a fuel hungry pumping system that can handle the viscosity of slurry on the way down a 1km shaft one way,,, and solids the other. ( plus enviro toxic by products ? ) ,, bm is a no brainer,,, it's the reason ESI are upping stumps to the valley next ,,, April ?,,, July 1 ?,,, ( the big pollie carrot is changing timetables imo )
