In October 2012 Polish officials visited Chinchilla.
In the new link below (dated January 9) google translation struggles with Polish, but from what I can gather Linc may have now received official approval for drilling and UCG R&D in Spytkowice, Poland until 2015.
In the link they talk about: QUOTE Company to carry out drilling has until 2015. Initial work has already started. Linc Energy, which produces coal around the world, from some of the land owners have already received permission to drill. If it turns out that coal is the number of wells increases, until a dense grid ENDQUOTE
But then later it says that if the R&D phase is succesful then Linc will carry out public consultation before a full scale mine is developed.
In any case this seems like another postive development in Poland for the UCG and the clean energy team. Still not a commercial operation but an important step and positive news.
