Project planning commenced in 2011, and an exploration license was obtained by the company in November 2014.
On 12 April 2018, Leigh Creek Energy received approval for its Statement of Environmental Objectives to run a in-situ coal gasification trial at Leigh Creek.[5] The company successfully ran the pilot project and produced syngas for a period of 4 months and analyzed the sample gas quality.[6]
The in-situ coal gasification trail was completed during April 2019 and the site will be monitored for the next 3 years to prove that there are no environmental concerns with the process.[7]
