are mined. The seams are the A, B, C, D, E, F and G seams and their seam complexes (for <br />example, the G-Seam is separated into G7, G8 and G9 in the South Taylor Area). At the peak of <br />operations, the South Taylor Pit will be nearly 4,000 feet wide, 6,000 feet long, and 550 feet <br />deep. Pit progression is from east to west. Projected life of the South Taylor Pit is estimated to <br />be until 2021 as per the currently approved Map 23A of the PAP, not including potential <br />highwall mining, which could prolong this schedule. Reclamation in the South Taylor Pit is <br />expected to conclude in 2029. <br />In 2017, construction began for the Collom Pit expansion approved with PR-04.
