· Appropriate positioning of over burden and coal benches to avoid contamination;
· Scrapping / cleaning of coal benches before blasting;
· Installation of metal detectors/magnetic separators over conveyors before loading coal;
· High capacity coal handling plant to dispatch sized/ uniform quality of coal at major projects;

· Shale picking at mine face, stocks and loading points/ sidings for consistent quality;
