EPC 2935 is located approximately three (3) kilometres south of the town of Springsure, in Central Queensland. EPC 2935 lies within the northern, exposed region of the Denison Trough in the Bowen Basin. The Bowen Basin formed during the Permian-Triassic period and is known to host large coal deposits and coal mining operations (e.g. Rolleston Mine, Arcadia Deposit, Minerva Mine, Valeria Deposit) of sub-bituminous, bituminous and anthracitic coals. The Bowen Basin is the source for a significant proportion of Australia’s total coal exports. The geological maps of the region indicate Tertiary basalt covers the solid geology of the Bowen Basin in the Springsure tenement area. Based on the interpreted solid geology of the area the basalt is underlain by the Cattle Creek Formation, Aldebaran Sandstone, Ingelara Formation, Maria Formation and the Colinlea Sandstone. The Reids Dome Beds are interpreted to be present in the project area, under these units, at depth. The Tenement Holder’s work completed in the sixth year of tenure involved the completion of a Technical Review, which included a review of the current geological understanding and the assessment of publicly open datasets in the region, including any recently available information. This report outlines Technical Review and activities carried out during the sixth year of tenure.
