Comments on the reserve resource information

  • MATRIX 1/BAUXITE KAOLIN AND LOW GRADE BAUXITE OR BAUXITIC CLAY ARE MINED. BAUXITE FROM THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN MINED FOR ALUMINUM BUT SINCE 1945 ALL ORE IS USED IN REFRACTORY PRODUCTS AND IN THE MANUFACTURING OF CHEMICALS. PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW WAS TO CORRECT TRANSLATION ERRORS, NOT TO UPDATE INFORMATION. REVIEWED BY EFOC, DEC.,1978. ALL INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS DEPOSIT PROVIDED BY THE ALABAMA GEOLOGIC SURVEY. MATRIX 1/DRY TONS AND GRADES ON ORIGINAL CHANGED TO WET TONS AND GRADES.
