Deposit THE LOCATION CONSISTS OF TWO DEPOSITS, ONE SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET NORTH OF THE OTHER. THE SOUTH DEPOSIT IS A VEIN TYPE CLAY DEPOSIT OF SMALL SIZE, NON REFRACTORY AND OF LITTLE COMMERCIAL INTEREST. THE NORTH ONE IS A BLANKET REPLACEMENT OF POSSIBLE ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE, DUE TO ITS LARGER SIZE AND POSSIBLE USE IN THE MAKING OF HEAVY CLAY PRODUCTS. THE NORTH DEPOSIT CLAY COULD BE USED IN THE MAKING OF HEAVY-CLAY PRODUCTS. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
