===Exploration===
While presently (2012) only one mine is being worked in Kamptee Coalfield, detailed exploration has revealed large deposits of coal in three blocks: Ghatrohan area to the east of the Kanhan river, Silewara area to the west of the Kanhan river, Bina area to the south of the Kanhan river. Non-coking coal is available in five workable seams. The moisture content of the coals varies from 8 to 11% and the volatile matter from 33 to 43%.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.geologydata.info/coal_03.htm| title = Geological and Geographical Distribution of Coalfields in India| publisher = geologydata.info| access-date = 2012-05-01| archive-date = 31 March 2012| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120331115928/http://www.geologydata.info/coal_03.htm| url-status = dead}}</ref>
