A survey is presented for coal reserves and possible amounts of methane and other gases in the Tungus Coal Basin, where brown coal is metamorphized to various (down to anthracites) stages under the action of heat generated by many trappean intrusions. There is a presumption that some hydrocarbon gases are in a fossil state.
