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 KAZARINOV, V.P. 1980 GIVES OSHURKOV RESOURCES AS FOLLOWS: 996 MILLION TONNES OF ORE, MEAN GRADE 3.87 % P2O5 OR 39 MILLION TONNES OF P2O5, HE STATES THAT A CONCENTRATE GRADING ABOUT 36 % P2O5 CAN BE PRODUCED; RECOVERY RATE OF P2O5 IS 81-87 %.
