RE: RE: Bulk Sample I remember last year the news they were not going ahead with the bulk sample was on St. Patrick's Day. So we will wait and see what the Leprechauns have in store for 2012.
I know they drilled at least seven holes this summer.
Coal is in less demand right now...
Asia's largest coal reserve discovered in Xinjiang, 89.2-billion-ton coal reserve at Sha'er Lake in northwest Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, which experts say is the largest of its kind in Asia
Asia's largest coal reserve discovered in Xinjiang
URUMQI - China has discovered an 89.2-billion-ton coal reserve at Sha'er Lake in northwest Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, which experts say is the largest of its kind in Asia. "We have submitted an exploitation plan for the super-large coal field to the central authorities. Once approved, the exploitation will officially begin," Wei Cheng, deputy director of the Sha'er coal field excavation headquarters, said Thursday.
Prospecting experts have spent a year calculating the coal field's reserves, Wei said.
"The coal's quality is fine, with low sulphur, low phosphorus, low ash, high caloricity and relatively fewer harmful elements," he said.
Reports estimate there are coal reserves of over 2 trillion tonnes in Xinjiang, or about 40 percent of China's total coal reserves.
