1.2.4.1 Potential coal developments


All known potential coal developments in the Central West subregion to date are catalogued in Table 4. All those listed here are discussed in Section 1.2.3 and their locations shown in Figure 5 in Section 1.2.3 . The Ulan Coal Mines Continued Operations Project and the Cobbora Coal Project have approved environmental impact statements (EIS) and published Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code compliant resource figures. The Phoenix Vision Coal Pty Ltd project is presently at the exploration stage and actual activity, quality of coal and potential tonnage or reserves are not reported.
