Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). CENTRAL PORTION OF DEPOSIT NAMED AMUR-BELSKY HAS BEEN EXPLORED IN DETAIL, THIS PART PRESUMABLY CONTAINS THE PUBLISHED RESOURCES. BENEFICIATION TESTS (4- AND 5-STAGE FLOTATION) GAVE CONCENTRATES WITH ABOUT 80 % FC. SOME NEWS FROM JOURNALS INDICATE THAT PRODUCTION STARTED IN THE EARLY 70IES

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.). (SURFACE) (FLOTATION) STATEMENTS IN KUZAKOV, M.G., 1979: - TOTAL ORE PRODUCTION USSR: MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION TONNES PER YEAR. 96% OF THIS IS ORES OF CRYSTALLINE GRAPHITE (2.5-10 % FC). - TOTAL USSR PRODUCTION OF GRAPHITE-CONC. (GRAPHITE PRODUCT) 1977: 104700 TONNES. - PRODUCING MINES, MENTIONED: BOTOGOLSK (CRYSTALLINE HIGH GRADE LUMP ORE) 900 TPY; NOGINSKOJE (AMORPHOUS GRAPHITE) 50000 TO 55000 TPY ORE. TAS-KAZGANSKOJE, TAJGINSKOJE, ZAVALE (CRYSTALLINE FLAKES). OTHER DEPOSITS WHICH MAY BE PRODUCING: SOJUSNOJE, STARO-KRYMSKOJE. NEWSINDICATED IN 1973 THAT SOYUSNOYE DEPOSIT WAS BEING
Deposit WORKED (ROM-ORES 15-20 % FC), BUT NO PRODUCTION DATA WERE AVAILABLE. RESOURCES AT THAT TIME WERE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS: PROVEN 8.7 MILLION TONNES, PROBABLE 20 MILLION TONNES, HUGE POSSIBLE RESOURCES
