The coal seams came to outcrop although the actual coal seam outcrop was generally covered by soil. The No 2 seam was a particularly important horizon and is between 5 and 6 m thick. Only the lower 2 to 3 m was mined as the rest was considered of too low quality. Thus, some 60% of the seam was left in the ground.
