About CB3
CB3 Mine Services Pty Ltd (CB3) provides a range of advanced laboratory tests that are leading practice in quantifying the spontaneous combustion propensity of coal and other materials. The site specific data obtained from testing is then used to develop effective mitigation and Principal Hazard Management Plans for Spontaneous Combustion. We have worked on projects for both domestic and international clients ranging from the largest operating coal companies to junior explorers.
We offer expert knowledge in the assessment of spontaneous combustion for:
- Coal Pre-feasibility studies
- Coal mine development and extraction (including gas evolution trends for identifying key gas indicators or ratios to be used in Trigger Action Response Plans)
- Coal handling and storage
- Upgraded low rank coals
- Quantifying the effectiveness of anti-oxidants as inhibitors
- Metal concentrates
- Identification of reactive pyrite
CB3 has laboratories in Brisbane (Australia) and Wellington (New Zealand).
