Taste the coal

Bit of a random visit to the coal plant of the main site - "do you want to taste the coal?" they said. Anyway, trip to the stock pile which is in a long strip virtually the length of the site. Overhead grabs, mobile plant, dozers, various other augers and drills which we think break the frozen coal out of the trucks which come 1000km and two days by train from further east Siberia.


That's about 3 feet of snow covering the stockpile.





Beautiful clear sky, not a breath of wind, but around -22.
