Coal Exploration on the Fraser Coast
The talk over the last few years of renewed coal mining in the Howard and Torbanlea area has been of great interest to many people here in Hervey Bay. Few though would have heard much of the Tiaro Coal Company
The Tiaro Coal Company is an ASX listed company that’s exploring an area of around 2,200 square kilometres that stretches from around Dundathu in the north to south of Gympie and well to the west of the Bruce Highway. You can find a map of the Tiaro Coal tenements by following the link.
A hat tip to Roger Currie’s interesting blog for the link to Tiaro Coal. Interestingly Roger sees that some of these coal tenements may be affected by the Traveston Dam. If the Dam will flood some valuable coal deposits it will be interesting to see what unfolds as the State Government decides whether water is more important than coal.
