The devastating Black Saturday fire cleaned out Elma Matheson's Callignee property. Now she has a new fight on her hands.
Exploration company Mantle Mining is applying for a licence to explore for coal in an area which takes in Callignee and a narrow strip cutting all the way through from Traralgon South to Churchill.
An advertisement stating the company's intention says the exploration is for coal only and would not involve gas or the controversial fracking method.
It says Mantle Mining would undertake stakeholder consultation, perform field inspections and possibly small drilling programs.
None of that sits well with Elma Matheson who is just about to begin rebuilding after fire took everything from her three years ago.

Where can I find maps on the internet concerning the areas of the proposed mining in Callignee and surrounds ?
