Matanuska Coal Deposits Show High Fixed Carbon
A detailed assay report by William Griffith on Matanuska coal fields notes high fixed carbon percentages across samples, with figures ranging near and above 71.65 percent at Coal Creek and 45.35 percent at Eska Creek. Prof. Martin’s picked sample reaches 79 percent fixed carbon, while Kayak anthracite posts 82.78 percent. The analysis compares favorably with Pocahontas and Cumberland coals, suggesting strong potential in the Matanuska field and surrounding Moose Granite areas.
