==Geography==
Jhilimili Coalfield is a part of Central India Coalfields. The latter is spread over the districts of [[Surguja district|Surguja]], [[Koriya district|Koriya]] (both in Chhattisgarh), [[Shahdol district|Shahdol]] and [[Umaria district|Umaria]] (both in Madhya Pradesh). There are fourteen coalfields in this group: Korar, Umaria, Johilla, Sohagpur, Sonhat, Jhilimili, Chirimiri, Sendurgarh, Koreagarh, Damhamunda, Panchbahini, Hasdeo-Arand, Lakhanpur and Bishrampur. The group covers an area of about {{convert|5345|km2}} with estimated reserves of 15,613.98 million tonnes. The deposits are at a depth of 0–1200 meters. Therefore, extraction is mainly amenable to underground mining except a few blocks in eastern part of these coalfields which have opencast potential.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://secl.gov.in/ | title = Central India Coalfields | work = Coalfields | publisher = South Eastern Coalfields Ltd | access-date = 2011-09-03 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110902005800/http://secl.gov.in/ | archive-date = 2011-09-02 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
