12 Feb 2026 CW Team

Project activities are expected to include geological surveys, geophysical mapping and targeted drilling to characterise subsurface coal seams. Field teams will conduct sampling and analysis to estimate seam quality, depth and extent, while laboratory work will support resource classification and reporting. The exercises are intended to provide robust data for planners and regulators without pre-empting any future development decisions.

Engagement with state authorities and local communities will be aligned to statutory permitting processes and to address environmental safeguards. The company anticipates coordinating with district administrations to obtain clearances and to plan field operations in a manner that seeks to minimise disruption to local livelihoods. Local hiring and contractor engagement are expected to support regional employment and to build capacity for sustained exploration activity.
