In making an inventory of the amount and geographic distribution of currently minable coal in Illinois, this new study used four generalized criteria: (1) reliability of data, (2) overburden and coal thickness, (3) tonnage of blocks of coal, and (4) proximity to manmade and natural obstacles. Coal having a thickness ranging from 18 to 108 inches and occurring at depths up to 125 feet was studied.
