World-Class Thickness - not about faces

The World’s Thickest Coal Seams

Lignite bed, Ural mountains, former USSR: 160m
Singrauli coalfield, India : 162m
Loy Yang, Victoria, Australia: 230.1m

(source: Principles and Practices of Modern Coal Mining
By R.D. Singh)

East of Pasquia Hill: 38m GXS best drill hole.
West of Pasquia Hill:?????????

This is what I heard and “saw”:
1)    200 feet = 61m coal zone
2)    480 feet = 146 m coal zone

NAG gets a little boring?
Can we think world-class thickness?

Look around to see what others are revealing to us, and
Who’s on the west side of Pasquia Hill, and
Have the most lands, and
Where they are situated with respect to the discoveries.

We need to know more for sure, and discuss and think about them.

The government’s permitting process is about 10 townships from completion, and it’s also time for NAG to reveal all its cards.

Let’s hurry them to do so, and
Let our neighbours drill diligently besides us, and
Reveal more thick zones, that
We don’t mind sharing with them!

I hold a chunk of NAG but CDB may be the next big one if the 480 foot (146 metre) coal zone being discussed turns out to be true and of decent quality. Its my understanding that there is coal all over the place in central Saskatchewan where all the action is since the GXS discovery and I'm also told that the best coal is probably northwest of GXS. South of GXS its too far down apparently.All ...more

Yes, CDB does.Go and look at their map.We can only wait for more details to confirm the historical finds unless one takes the trouble of searching government records.NAG has said to be conducting such searches. The 200 ft zone appears to be on NAG permit-pending lands according to what I could make out from the relevant maps. The company should clarify.Best luck,KT
Comment by Snowdogy on Jan 18, 2009 6:48pm
Point of Clarification. The map that you probably saw was the map produced by CTNiedemair, a poster to the CDB BB. He is quite adept at all things digital and produced a very professional-looking map complete with the CDB logo and all the rest. As far as I'm aware he does not work for CDB, in fact, in private inbox comunications with me he revealed that he works for another company unrelated ...more

You're right. My oversight for not checking the CDB company site which does not seem to have a map for their claims.I did have the maps from AIX earlier and have looked at them more carefully. We can only take it as good as the accuracy and honesty of the company that produce the public information.ATB,KT

if posted since december 2, then CDB doesn't know about the intercept, but it is a coal zone
Comment by retireddriller on Jan 20, 2009 1:31am
kiktyre quotes "coal seams", whereas everyone in saskatchewan is quoting coal zones, coal zones being host sediments with coal seams, BC has coal zones as thick as 350 metres, groundhog and a few otherscertainly a thick coal zone gives a better chance at finding thicker coal seams?
Comment by Kiktyre on Jan 20, 2009 1:07pm
The world-class thicknesses that I quoted from R.D. Singh’s book apparently refer to what can be considered as single seams. Here’s the exact text on page 151: “A lignite bed in Korkino on the slope of Ural mountains former USSR is 160 m thick. In India, a coal seam in Singrauli coalfield attains the thickness of 162 m. The world’s ...more

The truth is out there.(Kik, check your math before posting)LOL
Comment by HighTest on Jan 20, 2009 4:24pm
Soooooo........What's with the 200 foot coal zone, which is on the replacement GM - AIX map that replaced the one with the mystery CDB 480 foot coal zone, which is on one of the Ken Smith claims, anyways?LMAO @ maps
Comment by admantine69 on Jan 20, 2009 4:44pm
NAG permit holder for the 200foot Coal Zone?
Comment by retireddriller on Jan 21, 2009 1:55am
the truth hurts....obviously someone has been working and sifting through 1000's of pages of data, projecting drill holes, boozing up civil servants.....lets see if all that boozing with them aggies in saskatchewan gets the drilling permits before eveyone else....while everyone has been posting, nag's obviously been doing the prep workgood to see nag was working hard digging up info ...more

RD, the 200 foot hole isn't as clearly where it looks on the AIX - GM map. 76 feet? What's Shawn doing with his special square?Good morning.
Comment by HighTest on Jan 21, 2009 10:23am
NAG's map for the 200 foot area disagrees with the Sask government version, substantially. The permit numbers are at variance. NuCoal gets the prize? Nobody cares anyway?
Comment by retireddriller on Jan 21, 2009 11:08am
no the sask geological atlas clearly shows who owns the ground
Comment by HighTest on Jan 21, 2009 11:28am
NAG gets it by 110 m, if it is plotted correctly.  NuCoal right there. BEC International (William MacNeill) a bit further west with mineral claims. Iron next door?
Comment by retireddriller on Jan 21, 2009 11:36am
i think its nucoal-gm-aix tagging to norththe map I saw shows 30 holes proposed by NAG in that area
Comment by retireddriller on Jan 21, 2009 11:38am
no called the number and got a copy, its clearly a 76 metre intercept with coal interlayered with sandstone and stated clearly 6 metre coal within thatthe guys a retard, but wasn't asking much, surprised they got it, says just picked it up by researching the library
Comment by HighTest on Jan 21, 2009 11:46am
Yeah, I see that AIX-GM-NuCoal option next to the 200 zone. Need 10 m coal only 5 m down. Follow the Isopach map.Not too many deep pocket$ anymore.
