Coal quality review highlights multiple product pathways for Arcadia Coal Project
Potential for semi-soft coking, PCI & high-energy thermal coal
– Coal-quality review identifies potential for semi-soft coking, PCI and high-energy thermal
coal products at recently acquired Arcadia Coal Project in central Qld’s Bowen Basin.
– Arcadia’s assessed coal averages approximately 10% in-situ ash, supporting potential
raw-coal pathways with beneficiation offering further opportunity to enhance product
quality.
– Potential for resource growth with Yari expanding Arcadia’s technical dataset, including
five cored petroleum/CSG wells not incorporated into the 2017 geological model, as Yari
continues resource expansion in world-class Bowen Basin.
Yari’s Managing Director, Courtney Taylor commented:
“Arcadia is emerging as a highly flexible coal opportunity. The naturally low in-situ ash provides the potential for a relatively high-yield thermal product, while accepting a lower yield through selective mining and beneficiation may produce a smaller proportion of coal with semi-soft coking characteristics.
“We are continuing to build out the Arcadia technical database, with additional historical drilling and geophysical datasets already identified for review. This gives us a growing body of information from which to plan the next stage of the project.
“These are exciting times for Yari and our shareholders as we continue our resource expansion in the Bowen Basin, supporting our district-scale consolidation strategy amid rising competition for resources within the tier-one basin.”
