Kharanor coal (Chita Oblast)
Chita Oblast (South Yakutsky Basin according to the table), Russia
Othercharbon (Hg)
- Type
- Coal deposit (coal of unspecified rank, Pennsylvanian)
Coal seam of unspecified rank, of Pennsylvanian age; mercury with a mean δ202Hg of -1.00 ‰ and Δ201Hg of -0.22 ‰ (Biswas et al., 2008). Non-homogenised sample (VTI); the table assigns this Chita Oblast coal to the South Yakutsky Basin; the Kharanor mine is a lignite mine at Sherlovaya Gora (Zabaykalsky). Indicative coordinates (Kharanor mine at Sherlovaya Gora, after Global Energy Monitor).
