The Crow Reservation has estimated coal deposits of billion tons, which billion may be prospective for CBM development. Currently there are no surface coal mines operate on the reservation -- however, they are moving Colstrip closer, representing some Crow coal, is also a significant source of carbon dioxide contamination. coal, Montana coal is cleaner but lower in heat content than coal mined in the East. Coal has been mined in Montana since territorial days, first as a heating fuel and later primarily for the railroads. Production initially peaked in the s at around 5 million tons (see Figure 1).
Lignite has the lowest ranking in the coal classification system, and it is mostly used as fuel in the power sector. Lignite's colour ranges from brown to black (see Figure ) and its heating value is less than KJ/Kg. Due to the fact that lignite deposits are geologically young they may contain plant debris. It serves the dominant interests of the East and West Coasts, which exploit the deposits of coal, oil, natural gas, oil shale, uranium, copper and other rare metals buried there. The coal mined near Colstrip is part of the Fort Union Formation, which underlies much .

In addition, the land also contains natural resources under the ground in the form of oil and gas fields and rich coal deposits. Mining in the state of Montana includes coal production, petroleum, precious metals and natural gas. The more mountainous areas of western Montana support a strong industry in timber and wood products : ,

Some Montana coal deposits are of marginal quality. Recently, there has been an increasing push to open new coal mines for increased export to the booming Asian economies. Reclamation of Coal Mining. Coal Coal deposits in Montana. book in Montana comes at significant cost to the land and water of our state.
Reclamation of coal mines has posed a significant challenge. Montana has the nation's largest recoverable coal reserves, which is almost one-third of the U.S. total, and the state accounts for about 5% of U.S. coal production.
Montana's temperature extremes and its small population contribute to the state's residential sector having the second-highest per capita energy consumption of any state, exceeded. Romeo M.

The U.S. coal deposits can be classified by rank of coal, by method of mining, by heating value, and by sulfur content, as shown in File Size: 7MB. The purpose of this report is to summarize geology, coal resources, and coal reserves in the Montana Powder River Basin assessment area in southeastern Montana.
This report represents the fourth assessment area within the Powder River Basin to be evaluated in the continuing U.S. Geological Survey regional coal assessment program.

Mining in Montana began inwhen the glint of gold in a prospector’s pan attracted hundreds to the banks of Silver Bow first centered around Bannack and Virginia City and the miners quickly spread out around the territory seeking new gold fields.

Geology and Ore Deposits of the Butte District, Montana: Issue 74 of Professional Paper (Paperback or Softback) by Weed, Walter Harvey and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at Wyodak, Big George, and Felix are multibillion-ton coal deposits in Paleocene and Eocene rocks along the eastern flank of the Powder River Basin; they contain beds of subbituminous coal as much as 61 m ( ft) thick, and average thicknesses are34, and m (,and 25 ft), respectively.
Much of central Montana is underlain by Jurassic and Cretaceous coal beds. Although there are no metal ore deposits in the eastern third of the state, the region holds more than 90 percent of Montana's coal reserves. The coal is part of the Paleocene Fort Union Formation, particularly the Tongue River Member.
At the time these mines were surveyed, 2, mines in Montana were observed to have ore mineralization in an outcrop, shallow pit, or isolated drill hole—known as an occurance mine. 1 Montana has 1, prospect mines. 2 4, mines were in production.

The coal fields of the Unites States can be divided into six major provinces. The Appalachian and Interior Provinces contain dominantly bituminous coal in strata of Pennsylvanian age.
The coal seams are relatively thin and are mined both by surface and underground methods. Sulfyur content is low to moderate in the Appalachian Province, generally high in the Interior province.
This was the first coal transported from Puget Sound to San Francisco. Coal was mined at this location for 25 years, until a fire and a flood closed the mine. Beginning in the s, coal began to make its presence felt in the region’s economy.
