Comments on the reserve resource information

  • SEE RESERVES AND POTENTIAL RESOURCES COMMENTS
  • THIS ESTIMATION IS BASED ON THICKNESS MEASURED ON OUTCROPS, PROSPECT PITS, AND DRILL HOLE DATA, AND THE TONNAGE IS COMPUTED ON THE BASIS OF A MINIMUM THICKNESS OF 0.8 M, SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF 1.25 AND 1.25 MET TONS/CUBIC METER.

Comments on development

  • ECON.COM: THE CHARACTER OF THE OVERBURDEN IMPOSES NO STRIPPING PROBLEM ABOVE THE SHADEHILL FACIES. IF THE HILLEN BED IS EXPLOITED, THE SCOTCH CAP SANDSTONE WOULD PRESENT A MINING PROBLEM AS IT IS MODERATELY THICK AND EXCEPTIONALLY HARD IN PLACES. THERE IS A POTENTIAL STRIPPING AREA IN SECS. 8, 9, 16, 17, T. 18 N., R. 12 E.
