Background
Flatbed Coal Mine (also known as the Gordon Creek project) is a proposed underground mine project in the Peace River Coalfield, British Columbia, Canada.[3] It is owned by Canada-based Colonial Coal International Corporation.
Colonial Coal's Flatbed project is located between approximately 8 and 10 kilometers from the company's existing Quintette and PRC loadouts. The property is adjacent to Anglo American’s Trend Mine and Teck Coal’s Window proposed mine, and has the potential for a large tonnage deposit, with a 100+ Mt coking coal resource target.[3]
While the project remains in the preliminary economic assessment stage, reports from the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024, reveal that the mine project is still active.[4]
