Yesterday I was even the great opportunity to be toured around UK coal's open cast mine, Cutacre, just outside of Bolton. The scale of the site is really quite staggering and gives a intriguing insight into the scales of extraction and refinement the site operates. The sites last commercially viable deposits are due to be extracted by February 2011, with the the mine 'filled in' with 15-18 months of that target date.
The abundance of coal in the region Chorley is in, makes it a relevant choice for the constituent material to use in the trap I am hope to design for this region. The challenge lies how to refine coal into a material that could be formed into a functioning mousetrap (Experiments to follow).
