Abstract:In order to speed up the exploration of coal resources in Yanggu Chiping coalfield, a lot of geological work have been carried out in recent years. Through 2D seismic survey and drilling certification, Jurassic Santai formation had been exposed in the mining area. Tectonic pattern was composed by 4 blocks lifting and falling alternatively. Some magmatite intrusion phenomenon appeared regionally in coal strata, such as gabbro. Benxi formation, Shanxi formation and Taiyuan formation are main coal bearing strata. Coal-bearing strata are 24 layers, and mining coal strata are 10 layers. It is mainly composed of gas coal and gasfat coal, and accompanied with coking coal and anthracite. Its mining conditions is also good. Through preliminary predication, coal resource amount in the buried depth of -1500m was 86.5 billion tons; while the amount with the buried depth -1500m was 130.5 billion tons. It has a good exploration prospect in this area.
