General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit To eliminate duplicate records, Anna Wilson (USGS) merged the data from record 10107796, which should be deleted. Changed the commodities Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ag from trace commodities to minor. Record 10107796 listed them as major. 10107796 said Development Status was Producer, this record calls it a Past Producer.
