mapped at the site (Section.28, T8S, R894!) is between 10 and 15 acres <br />,• in area. <br />Bowie Member Coal Beds <br />A Seam. The A seam is either on or a few feet above the Rollins <br />sandstone. It is best developed in the mine area between North and <br />Middle Thompson creeks, where it ranges from 7 to 10 feet thick. <br />Southward from Middle Thompson Creek, in Sections 10 and 11, the A <br />seam thins and intertongues with other sediments, becoming dirty, <br />eventually consisting only of strands of coal (Drawing D-3-11). <br />~ B Seam. In the vicinity of North Thompson Creek, the B seam is 30 <br />to 40 feet above the A seam. Down-dip from the mine, drill holes CR-1 <br />and -2 encountered 4 to 5 feet of B seam coal, but holes CR-10 and -11 <br />penetrated less than 3 feet (refer to Drawing D-3-11 or D-3-12 for <br />location of drill holes). <br />• C Seam. The C seam is 25 to 50 feet above the B seam and reaches <br /> its greatest thickness of 2.5 feet in the vicinity of drill hole LM-1. <br /> It is generally less than 2 feet thick throughout the area. <br />Paonia Member Coal Seams <br />Sunshine Seam. The Sunshine seam is in the lower 30 feet of the <br />Paonia member. In the vicinity of the North Thompson Creek mine, the <br />Sunshine seam is 2 feet thick, but thickens southward where it is 6 <br />feet thick in drill holes CR-4 and LM-3. <br />Anderson Seam. The Anderson seam is 9 to 10 feet thick in the <br />Number 3 mine along North Thompson Creek, At this locality it is 60 <br />feet above the Sunshine seam, To the south, the seam is split by <br /> <br />3-23 <br /> <br />
