Comments on the geologic information

  • TOTAL RESERVES FOR THE DUBRAVA ANTIMONY MINE AMOUNTS TO AN ESTIMATED 156,000 METRIC TONS OF PROVEN ORE AND 171,000 METRIC TONS OF INFERRED ORE. THE GEOLOGY SURROUNDING THE DUBRAVA MINE CONSISTS OF NORTH-TRENDING VEINS IN GRANITOIDS. THE HOST ROCKS ARE GRANITES. THE VEIN SYSTEM EXTENDS OVER AN AREA OF 4 KILOMETERS BY 700 TO 800 METERS. THE VERTICAL EXTENT OF MINERALIZATION IS ABOUT 500 METERS. THE VEINS DIP AT 70 TO 90 DEGREES AND RANGE FROM .20 CENTIMETERS TO .5 METERS IN WIDTH. MINERALIZATION IS FREQUENTLY DISPERSED IN THE SURROUNDING GRANITES. UNDERGROUND MINE WORKINGS EXTEND TO A DEPTH OF ABOUT 200 METERS.
