Capsule Geology

The Jurassic-Cretaceous Mist Mountain Formation (Kootenay Group) consisting of sandstone, siltstone, shale and coal is not preserved within the Michel licence area. Therefore, the Mammoth seam (4.5 to 7.5 metres) which is structurally thickened and occurs to the north of the area, was not encountered. The coal potential of the licence is negligible.

The structure consists of an approximately north trending anticline-syncline pair in the west portion of the property and two approximately north trending, west dipping thrust faults in the east.

This MINFILE occurrence (Michel, 082GSE050), is not part of the Michel Creek Coking Coal Project explored by CanAus Coal circa 2015 (see MINFILE 082GNE009).
