Hard Rock Mine & Mineral Properties

The Jonesville Coal Project in Alaska hosts the former producing Evan Jones Coal Mine (5.5Mt historic production), together with JORC Code compliant resources comprising 130Mt of high quality thermal coal. There is considerable potential to expand this resource with further exploration. A mine permit is in place providing an excellent opportunity for production in the very near term. Jonesville’s proximity to established infrastructure and Asian markets further enhances the potential of thi

The ore deposit is an intrusion-related distal replacement type associated with important thrusting. Zinc and lead are disseminated, the mineralogy is simple: iron poor sphalerite and silver poor galena in calcite, barite and quartz. The control on mineralisation is lithological and structural with high grade concentrated in steep fault structures N-NW/S-SE. The ore deposit is considered as world class type.
