Coal Resources

Boli coal basin has abundant coal resources and its structure shows southward protruding arcuate structure. There is difference about basement in western and eastern, so it can be further divided into continental craton basement in west and continental craton edge active zone basement in east. For this reason, the coal-bearing strata at the west is stable and its structure is relatively simple. On the contrary the eastern coal-bearing strata is less, poor-quality and thickness is unstable. There are two groups of faults and four folds that mainly control coal-bearing strata distribution. It can be divided into six coal-controlled structural styles in Boli coal basin based on system analysis and summarized about geological exploration data.
