FGC
IN THE COAL INDUSTRY
| 
"The Black Diamond" from the Queensland coalfields
| Over
the last 25 years, Forrest Geological Consultants Pty Ltd has carried out field
assignments for coal mining companies on numerous projects in Australia and overseas.
As a result of this we have acquired valuable knowledge of the geology of many
coal basins as well as the geological, geophysical, drilling and computer techniques
required to explore and evaluate them.
These coal projects
have comprised: Australia:
Coking and thermal coal exploration,
development drilling and minesite geology - Bowen and Surat Basins, Queensland,
and Sydney Basin NSW. Africa:
Geological mapping and drilling
in the extension of Karroo sediments from Tanzania into Kenya.
| 
Drilling for Coal in India
| India:
Drilling
supervision and core logging and sampling of a thermal coal deposit in Maharashtra
State, Central India. Malaysia:
Exploration for coking coal
deposits in Sarawak using drilling and geological mapping. Philippines:
Coal exploration mapping and sampling in Mindanao.

Dragline used for coal mining
| Data gathered in the field
has to be built into a geological model on which to base feasibility studies
or mine planning. We specialise in assisting mining companies to build
a coherent and reliable model geological model on which engineering, financial
and environmental studies can be based. Our extensive experience in coal
exploration and development which we have built up over the last 25 years has
given us the experitse that qualifies us to participate in the geological aspects
of due diligence studies. At minesites or field programmes FGC offer
a wide range of services including project management, geological mapping,
drill core logging and sampling. Top
