4 CLARENCE-MORETON BASIN GEOLOGY MIDDLE TRIASSIC to EARLY CRETACEOUS STRUCTURAL BASIN MORE THAN 3KM THICK PART OF THE LARGER GREAT AUSTRALIAN BASIN SYSTEM EXTENDS FROM GLENREIGH IN THE SOUTH UP INTO SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND BASIN IS BOUND ON THE EAST AND WEST BY OUTCROP PART OF THE BASIN IS BENEATH THE TASMAN SEA EAST OF ILUKA 4 COAL IS HOSTED BY MIDDLE TO LATE TRIASSIC AND MIDDLE JURASSIC COAL MEASURES

5 CLARENCE-MORETON BASIN GEOLOGY LATE EARLY TO LATE TRIASSIC RIFTING PHASES OPENS UP BASIN (POST BOWEN OROGENY) LATE TRIASSIC TO MIDDLE JURASSIC UPWARDLY FINING BASIN FILL MIDDLE JURASSIC COAL MEASURES LATE JURASSIC TO EARLY CRETACEOUS UPWARDLY FINING BASIN FILL BASIN CLOSED TOWARDS THE END OF THE EARLY CRETACEOUS (CAPRICORNIAN OROGENY) LATE CRETACEOUS INTRUSIONS (GLENUGIE PEAK) EOCENE TO MIOCENE VOLCANISM (LISMORE BASALT, KYOGLE BASALT, MOUNT WARNING, MOUNT LINDSAY) 5

7 7 NYMBOIDA GEOLOGY

8 COAL MINING HISTORY NEARLY ALL COAL MINED FROM THE CLARENCE MORETON BASIN WAS FROM THE NYMBOIDA COLLIERY TWO IDENTIFIED COAL SEAMS EXIST AT NYMBOIDA FARQUHARS CREEK SEAM (UPPER PART OF COAL MEASURES) AND AN UNNAMED SEAM NEAR THE BASE OF THE COAL MEASURES NYMBOIDA COLLIERY OPENNED IN THE LATE 1800s AND CLOSED IN 1974 DUE TO BANKRUPTCY UNDERGROUND MINE BRIEFLY OWNED BY UNIONS (START OF THE CFMEU) ALMOST 1 MILLION TONNES OF COAL PRODUCED FROM FARQUHARS CREEK SEAM 8 GASSY THIN SEAM UNDERGROUND MINE FUEL FOR THE KANCOOL POWERSTATION NEAR JUNCTION HILL AND OTHER DOMESTIC BOILERS

9 9 COAL MINING HISTORY COAL QUALITY AT NYMBOIDA WAS BITUMINOUS IN RANK WITH LOW VOLATILE MATTER HIGH ENERGY COAL (8500 Kcal DAF) MAY BE BENEFICATED TO COKING COAL CURRENT EXPLORATION LICENCE OVER AREA BY WARATAH COAL (MINERALOGY) EXPLORING FOR OPENCUT SEAMS NYMBOIDA COAL MEASURES UNPUBLISHED RESOURCE OF 46MT

12 12 COAL MINING HISTORY NO RECORDED PRODUCTION FROM THE RED CLIFF COAL MEASURES BANDED COAL SEAM 3.5M THICK EXISTS AT THE REDCLIFF HEADLAND (SPOT X COAL MEMBER) TOTAL COAL EXCLUDING BANDS IS APPROXIMATELY 1.9M BITUMINOUS COAL WITH POTENTIAL COKING PROPERTIES OUTCROP EXTENT IS ENTIRELY WITHIN NATIONAL PARK

13 13 COAL MINING HISTORY WALOON COAL MEASURES MINED IN THE LATE 1800s IN THE COALDALE AREA NORTHWEST OF GRAFTON HIGH-VOLATILE, HIGH-ASH BITUMINOUS COAL NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO MINE THE WALLOON COAL MEASURES HAVE BEEN MADE WITH LITTLE CONTINUOUS SUCCESS BEST PREVOIUS MINING AREA WAS AT BONALBO (WEST OF KYOGLE) WHERE 40,000 TONNES WAS MINED FROM A 1.5m BITUMINOUS COAL SEAM ( ) OTHER AREAS OF COAL MINING/PROSPECTING INCLUDE:- Nymbin-Tyalgum Pillar Valley Woodenbong-Legume Nymboida to Glenreagh Moonem Bexhill

14 14 REMAINING COAL RESOURCES OPENCUT AND UNDERGROUND COKING COAL REMAINS IN THE NYMBOIDA COAL MEASURES BUT NEEDS TO BE QUANTIFIED WITH FURTHER EXPLORATION LONG EXTENTS OF REDCLIFF COAL MEASURES STRIKE FROM REDCLIFF TO BROOMS HEAD LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR ANY FURTHER MINING AT EVANS HEAD COAL MEASURES DUE TO POOR QUALITY AND PROXIMITY TO ALLUVIAL AREAS BEST WALOON COAL MEASURES RESOURCES ARE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CLARENCE MORETON BASIN NORTH OF NYMBIN, NORTHWEST OF MALANGANEE

15 OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION HISTORY EARLIEST EXPLORATION HOLE IS Clarence River Basin Oil Exploration Company NL THE COMPANY DRILLED 12 DEEP REGIONAL HOLES IN THE BASIN DURING THE 1960S, ESTABLISHED THE GEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK AND TESTED REGIONAL RESERVOIRS 15 BRIDGE OIL (8 HOLES) AND ENDEVOUR RESOURCES (3 HOLES) DRILLED SHALLOW WELLS IN THE 1980s CONTEMPORARY EXPLORATION RECOMMENCED IN 1999 AND CONTINUED THROUGH TO HOLES MAINLY TARGETING CSG RESOURCES IN THE WALLOON COAL MEASURES COMPANIES INCLUDE:- PACIFIC POWER, METGASCO, MOLOPO, SUNCOR, ARROW ENERGY
