3D look at Valley's coal resource

摘要

A new three-dimensional picture of the vast brown coal resources in the Latrobe Valley will be released at the VIMP data launch in May. Data from almost eight thousand bore holes have been used to build a digital three-dimensional model showing the distribution and quality of the brown coal in a 1100 square kilometre area between Moe and Rosedale, including the State's vital electricity generating resources. The model facilitates the matching of coal to development opportunities. It also captures and archives 90 years of knowledge from the former State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV) and other souces that, until now, was accessible only as paper records.
