Highlights

Proved 4 million tonnes of coal resources in Mustika Cynthia Mandiri’s KP adjoining to ANZ coal block over an area of 168.8 Ha, within 1:5. Coal: OB) ratio. Only 5 nos of BHS were drilled for the quality assessment, involving the cost of just a quarter then the normal and saved considerable amount.

Efficiently evolved the regional geological structure which enabled to assess the open cast potentiality in 45 sq km area in SSKB block Jambi coal with the available data without any further r expenses on exploration.

General Survey in balance area of ANZ coal block Bunati, revealing additional open castable coal resources in the dip side of the KP.
