The Hudette coal occurrence is located about 22 kilometres south of the Willow Creek mine (093O 008) and approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Chetwynd.

The Lower Cretaceous Gething Formation (Bullhead Group) consists of alternating units of fine to coarse-grained sandstone, carbonaceous shale, coal, siltstone and conglomerate. Three to four significant coal seams occur in the upper part of this formation. The upper contact is a thin bed of pebble conglomerate overlain by distinctive glauconitic, marine sandstones that form the base of the overlying Moosebar Formation (Fort St. John Group). Its thickness ranges from 120 to 200 metres.

The Brenda seam averages 10.5 metres thick with 6.5 metres of coal. The seam is thought to be 50 metres from the top of the Gething Formation, based on geophysical log correlations (Coal Assessment Report 524). Rapid lateral changes in the detailed character of this seam are known to exist, but the continuity of the seam allows it to be an important stratigraphic marker and target seam.

In 2011, Anglo Coal plc acquired the balance of interests in the Peace River Coal Limited Partnership to become sole owner. Walter Energy Inc. purchased Western Coal Corp., now a wholly-owned subsidiary company, and with it Western’s three mines – Perry Creek (093P 025), Brule (093P 007) and Willow Creek (093O 008) – and all exploration interests. Western Coal Corp. completed about 2300 metres of reverse circulation drilling on its Mount Hudette/Brazion property near the Brule mine (093P 007).

In 2012, Walter Energy (Western Coal) drilled 38 holes at Hudette to determine structure and characteristics of the Brenda upper and lower seam. The Walter Energy Incorporated Annual Report 2013 reported a Proven reserve of 24,658,000 tonnes and a Probable reserve of 465,000 tonnes. (Walter Energy Incorporated Annual Report 2014)

The Hudette property tenure was sold to Conuma Coal Resources Limited in 2016.
