    1. The Sarapal-Nuaparha coal block is located in the Talcher coalfield in Odisha, covering an area of 17.08 square kilometers. 2. Exploration of the block found 6 coal seam zones ranging from 0.68 to 48.18 meters thick. Total estimated coal reserves of the block are 701.16 million tons. 3. The quality of coal varies across seams but most have medium to high ash content between 21-47% and heat values ranging from 1806 to 5124 kcal/kg on a dry ash-free basis.
