Since the coal is both thin and patchy, how much drilling has been done to get and indication of future production ?

1) What is the economic sensitivty to variations in the width of the coal seam.

2) What are the expected distribution in the variation in in the coal seam ?

3) What is the break down frequency and repair time for the equipment ? How long does it take to get replacement equipment to the sight ?

*****

I expect an investment in this operations would be something like a series of call option on the price of coal for the next few years with some variation base on the coal thickness.

Big upside, but little downside protection.
