2-ii <br />• 2.1.4.2.4 Palisade Zone <br />The Palisade zone appears to include several thin stringers of coal in this area. One of the <br />Palisade seams locally thickens to five feet in certain parts of the permit area. Stratigraphically <br />it is more than 300 feet lower than the Cameo seam in the permit area. Additionally, the sulfur <br />content of the Palisade is significantly greater than the Cameo. Because of access and quality <br />problems, the Palisade Seam will not be mined in the foreseeable future. <br />2.1.4.3 Other Mineral Values <br />Although all exploration conducted by SCMC in the mining plan area has been directed at <br />the coal reserves, no other mineral values have been observed in the area. The area appears <br />to be open to mineral entry under the General Mining Law; however, no minerals locatable <br />• under the law are known to occur in the unit, nor are the geological conditions in the unit <br />surtable for their occurrence. <br />There appears to be little possibility of conflict with oil and gas interests. All of Section 10 <br />and 15 (Figure 1.1-2) were withdrawn from the simultaneous oil and gas list on March, 1977 by <br />the Colorado State Director of the Bureau of Land Management. <br /> <br />M~ Volume 1 4-29.96 <br />
