General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit ALSO IN SECTIONS 5, 6, 7., T 7 N, R 19 E. THE TACTITE DEPOSIT IS A SUBECONOMIC RESOURCE BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL SIZE. COST PER TON FOR MINING, MILLING, TRANSPORT- ATION, AND OTHER PRODUCTION EXPENDITURES WOULD EXCEED REVENUE PER TON. IF ADDITIONAL SIMILAR DEPOSITS WERE DISCOVERED NEARBY, THE COMBINED TONNAGE MIGHT RESULT IN LOWER UNIT COSTS. THE DEPOSIT, THEREFORE, HAS MODERATE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT.
