The majority of the seams in the Tiru are too thin to be of any use, 

 but after making a liberal allowance for this, there still remains a large 

 amount of coal in seams of a convenient thickness for working, and 

 most of which is of the hard kind. I think it is safe to say that there 

 is not less than 15 feet of Available coal. The average dip is about 75°.
