Mining district

District name Dneprovsk-Donetsk Basin

Ownership information

  • Type Owner
    Owner State Owned

Comments on the production information

  • IN 1974 ABOUT 80,000 TPY, AN ADDITIONAL MINE WITH 100,000 TPY WAS OPENED IN 1976

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • POSSIBLY ONLY THE MEASURED RESOURCES IN A SMALL PART (MAXIMALLY 10 KM2) OF THE EXTENSIVE PHOSPHORITE AREA

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). AVERAGE CONTENT 20 % P2O5 OF PHOSPHORITE, PHOSPHATE NODULES MAY GRADE 25-32 % P2O5
  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). THESE CENOMANIAN PHOSPHATES ARE RELATIVELY LOWGRADE (16 % P2O5) AND OCCUR IN THIN LAYERS, PARTIALLY THEY ARE COVERED WITH THICK OVERBURDEN. ON THE OTHER HAND THE ORES CAN BE EASILY BENEFICIATED; APPLICATION OF SIMPLE METHODS (WASHING, SIFTING) GIVES RELATIVELY HIGH-GRADE CONCS. DEPOSITS PROBABLY HAVE SIGNIFICANCE ONLY FOR LOCAL FERTILIZER SUPPLY
