Ignite Energy Resources (IER) hold EL 4416, which includes the recognised coalfields of Longford, Boodyarn, Stradbroke, Greenmount, Alberton East and Gelliondale. IER plans to exploit the relatively shallow brown coal at Gelliondale using conventional brown coal mining and upgrade with its Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR) technology.
