Project

Rocky Creek Metallurgical Coal Project

The Rocky Creek Metallurgical Coal Project is our focus and is currently in the EA Certificate and Application Process as well as the Environmental Assessment Process. We estimate that this Project will likely be operative in 2030.

Metallurgical Coal

The site is located approximately 47 km south of Chetwynd, BC, within the Peace River Regional District, where multiple open pit coal mines are currently in operation. As such, this area offers excellent existing infrastructure such as Sukunka Road and other established forest roads, a power supply, rail, and port.

About the Project

The Rocky Creek Project is designed as an open pit coal mine. CTI Plus has defined the site’s coal resources and gained understanding of potential development. From intends to build, operate, and progressively reclaim the mine.

We estimate a total annual run-of-mine production rate of 3.0 million tonnes (Mt), which is equivalent to 8,220 tonnes per day (tpd), or approximately 1.75 Mt of clean coal per year. This project will have an operational mine life of approximately 14 years. Additional engineering work is underway to determine the final construction and schedule of activities, which may impact the duration of the mine life.

The total process includes construction, operation, closure, and reclamation of open pits, a coal processing facility, and associated on and off-site infrastructure and activities.

Site Map

The proposed mine consists of two mining areas, one in the Northwest Block (NW Block), and another in the Southeast Block (SE Block). Both areas will be mined with open pit conventional truck and shovel methods.

Core Features

  • Six open pits in NW block
  • One open pit in SE block
  • Proposed Power line (green)
  • Existing access roads to the mine site such as Sukunka Forest Road, Jilg Road and Rocky Creek Road (yellow)
  • Proposed clean coal haul road (brown & green; will be upgraded based on existing access road)
  • Proposed Rail Loop, close to CN Railway

Planned Surface Facilities

NW Mining Block Considerations

  • Coal Processing Plant is planned
  • Maintenance and Warehouse Building
  • Administration and Office Building
  • Tire Shop

SE Mining Block Considerations

  • Potential 1 open pit
  • Satellite shop complex
