New seam discovery at Emmaus Coking Coal Project in West Virginia

  • Two further deep drill holes completed at Emmaus

  • Significant intersections in Beckley and Fire Creek seams in hole PCC-14-14

Exploration Success

Fitzroy Resources Limited (“Fitzroy) is pleased to announce continued exploration success in its latest deep hole drilling program at the Emmaus property. Both holes recorded coal intersections while hole PCC-14-14 was particularly successful intersecting 3.0 feet (0.9m) of Beckley seam before confirming the presence of the Fire Creek seam on the Emmaus property when it intersected 3.2 feet (1.0m).

The holes have been e-logged to confirm the intersection widths and geologically logged by Cardno MM&A, who provide Fitzroy with geological support.

Fitzroy is aware that both these seams are present on adjoining properties but prior to PCC-14-14, a mineable thickness of the Fire Creek seam had not been confirmed at Emmaus. Fitzroy will now turn the focus of its drilling to the hillside (above drainage) seams of Gilbert and Douglas/Red Ash at Blackstone.

Background to current drilling program

On 6 December 2013, Fitzroy announced that the first deep hole the Company had drilled below drainage intersected 3.8 feet (1.2m) of Beckley seam coal. Not only was this the thickest seam Fitzroy had encountered, but it also confirmed that like our neighbouring properties, the Beckley seam is present on the Emmaus property. PCC-13-13 was to have been drilled to the projected Pocahontas seam horizon (see stratigraphic column in figure 1) but the hole had to be abandoned in the middle of the Fire Creek seam when it became stuck.

At the end of the last program, Fitzroy had a number of permitted drilling sites and to follow up the success of PCC-13-13, decided to drill a further hole at the permitted drill site to the north at PCC-F213 and a further hole to the south at PCC-14-14.

Drilling Program Results and Discussion

The drill results are shown below in Table 1. With the completion of PCC-14-14 we now have confirmation that not only is the Beckley seam (also known as War Creek seam) present at Emmaus, but that the Fire Creek seam is present with a mineable thickness.

In the months ahead Fitzroy will continue to incrementally demonstrate the scale of a potential Coal Resource in the Beckley and Fire Creek seams in the immediate surrounds of PCC-14-14 and PCC-1313 but also across the entire Emmaus and Blackstone properties. The success of these two holes has given management of Fitzroy confidence that our aim to delineate a meaningful Coal Resource at depth is even more achievable with the presence of a second seam (Fire Creek) only 140 feet below the Beckley seam.

PCC-F2-13 was a wild cat hole, meaning it was a drill hole drilled with little geological evidence to guide it from surrounding data. The aim of drilling the hole was to intersect deeper coal seams with the potential to increase the Exploration Target announced on 10 December 2013. While the Beckley or Fire Creek seams in the north of the property were not intersected, a thick seam of Welch was intersected which may indicate a wider presence of this seam in the northern part of the property.

Importantly the absence of the deeper seams in the area around PCC-F2-13 does not sterilise the remainder of the property or significantly lower the potential size of these seams.

Blackstone Drilling

The next stage of our drilling program is at Blackstone. This drilling will be important as it is the location of our mining permit and we intend it to be the location of our first underground mine. If Blackstone can replicate the quality results at Emmaus, it will encourage Fitzroy that when we commence production, we will be supplying a high quality product.

As per the revised 2012 JORC reporting guidelines, a summary of the material information used in these exploration results, outlined in the Table 1 Report in Appendix A, is as follows:

The coal of interest is part of the Appalachian Basin. Coal deposits located on the properties are Carboniferous in age, being of the Pennsylvanian system. Coal in the region is typically bituminous with rank increasing from west to east. High-volatile bituminous coals in the west give way to low-volatile bituminous coal and anthracite in the east.

Drilling on the Emmaus Property utilized a wire-line diamond core drilling system consisting of a truck-mounted drill rig outfitted for drilling NQ-size (47.5mm or 1.87 in.) diameter core.

In most cases, drill holes were geologically logged by the driller or a geologist. Many of the bore holes were subjected to geophysical logging to offer a greater accuracy of the geology

The type of sampling and laboratory analysis has varied over time. In some cases, the coal seam core samples were divided for quality analyses, while in other samples the entire seam composites were analysed. Sample analysis was carried out by various companies throughout the various exploration programs. Quality data was provided in the form of laboratory data sheets which provide sufficient information for determining if the total recovered portion of the coal seam was delivered to the laboratory for analysis. It is assumed that samples were processed by the laboratory in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Method of Preparing Coal Samples for Analysis (ASTM D 2013). Assumptions are based on Cardno’s familiarity with the operating companies and the companies used to perform the analysis.

Appendix A: JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
>
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc.). These
examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
>
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
>
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this
would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that
has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
>
The Emmaus Property has been explored
primarily by vertical subsurface drilling.
Subsurface drilling is the preferred method of
exploration for coal deposits in the Central
Appalachian region, generally utilizing either
rotary or core drilling systems, which are
designed to collect core samples. Vertical
subsurface core drilling is favoured for coal
exploration because it provides a complete
representative vertical section of the coal
bearing stratigraphy for use in coal seam
correlations and collection of coal samples for
determination of coal rank and quality.
>
As of the effective date of this TR, an initial
exploration program is has been completed on
the Emmaus Property.
>
An new exploration program is being
developed to further explore seams
stratigraphically located below drainage.
>
An exploration program is being developed for
the Blackstone Property and is in the
permitting stage.
>
A Cardno geologist was present during most
of the drilling, and reviewed the cores
describing the coal seams, as well as roof and
floor strata.
>
With the exception of Hole PCC-13-13 the
holes were being subjected to geophysical
logging by Cardno GLS and are under review
by Cardno geologists.
>
During drilling of Hole PCC-13-13, technical
problems encountered prevented the drilling
company to remove steel casing from the
holes. Because of this, it will not be possible
to subject the bore hole to geophysical
logging. Geology data reported herein is
based on the driller’s log and Cardno’s
independent observations of the core samples.
Drilling
techniques
>
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).
>
Drilling on the Emmaus Property utilized a
wire-line diamond core drilling system
consisting of a truck-mounted drill rig outfitted
for drilling NQ-size (47.5mm or 1.87 in.) core.
>
Similar equipment was used for the 2013
Emmaus exploration program, and will be
used for the new Emmaus and Blackstone
exploration.

Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
>
Appropriate geologic data maps, diagrams and
exhibits are included in this TR.
Balanced
reporting
>
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
>
All of the available exploration data from
previous exploration programs was provided
by Premier Coking Coal, and has been
included and used appropriately.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
>
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
>
No other geological data other than those
previously mentioned are known to exist.
