SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This coal 

lease sale is being held in response to 

a lease by application (LBA) filed by 

Antelope Coal Company of Gillette, WY. 

The coal resources to be offered consist 

of all reserves recoverable by surface 

mining methods in the followingdescribed lands located just south of the 

Campbell/Converse County line south 

southeast of Wright, Wyoming, in 

northern Converse County 

approximately 2 miles east of State 

Highway 59 and crossed by Antelope 

Creek:

T. 40 N., R. 71 W., 6th PM, Wyoming 

Sec. 3: Lots 15–18; 

Sec. 4: Lots 5–20; 

Sec. 5: Lots 5–7, 10–15, 19, 20; 

Sec. 9: Lot 1; 

Sec. 10: Lots 3, 4; 

T. 41 N., R. 71 W., 6th PM, Wyoming 

Sec. 28: Lots 9–16; 

Sec. 29: Lots 9–11, 14–16; 

Sec. 32: Lots 1–3, 6–11, 14–16; 

Sec. 33: Lots 1–16.

Containing 2,809.13 acres, more or less.

The tract is adjacent to Federal coal 

leases held by the Antelope Mine to the 

east. It is also adjacent to additional 

unleased Federal coal to the north, 

south and west. 

All of the acreage offered has been 

determined to be suitable for mining. 

However, Antelope Creek and an 

adjacent buffer zone are not expected to 

be mined. Other features such as 

pipelines can be moved to permit coal 

recovery. No producing oil and/or gas 

wells have been drilled on the tract. All 

of the surface estate is controlled by the 

Antelope Mine. 

The tract contains surface mineable 

coal reserves in the Wyodak seam 

currently being recovered in the 

adjacent, existing mine. In this area, the 

Wyodak seam is generally split into the 

Anderson and Canyon seams. The 

shallower Anderson seam ranges from 

about 26–34 feet thick and occurs over 

most of the LBA. It is the only mineable 

seam south of Antelope Creek. The 

deeper Canyon seam is mineable only 

north of Antelope Creek on the LBA. It 

is split on the LBA tract and ranges from 

about 12–35 feet thick for the upper 

split and from about 11–19 feet thick for 

the lower split. The overburden depths 

range from about 93–195 feet thick 

north of Antelope Creek and from about 

54–127 feet thick south of Antelope 

Creek on the LBA. The interburden 

between the Anderson and Canyon 

seams ranges from about 46–69 feet 

thick on the LBA. The interburden 

between the Canyon splits ranges from 

about 3–7 feet thick. 

The tract contains an estimated 

194,961,000 tons of mineable coal. This 

estimate of mineable reserves includes 

the two main seams and split mentioned 

above but does not include any tonnage 

from localized seams or splits 

containing less than 5 feet of coal. The 

total mineable stripping ratio (BCY/Ton) 

of the coal is about 3.0:1. Potential 

bidders for the LBA should consider the 

recovery rate expected from thick seam 

and multiple seam mining. 

The West Antelope LBA coal is 

ranked as subbituminous C. The overall 

average quality on an as-received basis 

is 8858 BTU/lb with about 0.23% sulfur 

and 1.86% sodium in the ash. These 

quality averages place the coal reserves 

near the high end of the range of coal 

quality currently being mined in the 

Wyoming portion of the Powder River 

Basin. 

The tract will be leased to the 

qualified bidder of the highest cash 

amount provided that the high bid 

meets or exceeds the BLM’s estimate of 

the fair market value of the tract. The 

minimum bid for the tract is $100 per 

acre or fraction thereof. No bid that is 

less than $100 per acre, or fraction 

thereof, will be considered. The bids 

should be sent by certified mail, return 

receipt requested, or be hand delivered. 

The Cashier will issue a receipt for each 

hand-delivered bid. Bids received after 

4 p.m., on Tuesday, December 14, 2004, 

will not be considered. The minimum 

bid is not intended to represent fair 

market value. The fair market value of 

the tract will be determined by the 

Authorized Officer after the sale. The 

lease issued as a result of this offering 

will provide for payment of an annual 

rental of $3.00 per acre, or fraction 

thereof, and of a royalty payment to the 

United States of 12.5 percent of the 

value of coal produced by strip or auger 

mining methods and 8 percent of the 

value of the coal produced by 

underground mining methods. The 

value of the coal will be determined in 

accordance with 30 CFR 206.250. 

Bidding instructions for the tract 

offered and the terms and conditions of 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2004 / Notices 65219

the proposed coal lease are available

documents, WYW151643, are available
