Deposit THIS RECORD WAS COMPILED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIC MINERALS INVENTORY. THE DATA WERE USED IN PREPARATION OF THE USGS CIRCULAR 930 SERIES OF REPORTS. MINERAL RESOURCE CATEGORIES AND CODES HEREIN ARE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM RECOMMENDED BY THE UNITED NATIONS GROUP OF EXPERTS ON DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY FOR MINERAL RESOURCES. (SEE NATIONAL RESOURCES FORUM, V. 4, NO. 3, P. 307-313.). NORTH KOREAN RESOURCES OF CRYSTALLINE GRAPHITE MAY BE VERY HUGE, AT LEAST 25 DEPOSITS, NOT CONTAINED IN THIS INVENTORY ARE SCATTERED IN PYONGAN-NAMDO (COUNTIES KUSONG, SAKCHU, CHOSAN, PYOKTONG). RESOURCES OF AMORPHOUS GRAPHITE MAY BE SMALLER, AS COMPARED TO SOUTH KOREAN QUANTITIES
