Low ash Buller coal can be converted to a carbon product in lab. tests. Some difficulties in meeting all the property requirements for anode grade carbon. Estimated coast of production from $288-436/ tonne, but required cost $180-240/ tonne. Webb Baynes deposit which, after washing, would be sufficiently low in ash for anode-grade carbon production, falls margianlly short of the estimated requirements for commercial scale producion. It is not considered economically feasible. Further exploration plus laboratory and pilot scale work needed before its technical and economic feasibility could be fully and reliably determined.
