Comments on the reserve resource information

  • 50,000 MTPY. IF FEEDING 100,000 MTPY PELLETS GRADING 45.5 % CR2O3 WOULD GET 44,600 MTPY HIGH-C WITH 86 % RECOVERY OF CR.
  • ONE FURNACE ONLY (20 MVA, OPERATED AT 19 MW). HAS PELLETIZING CAPACITY OF 100,000 MTPY PELLETS. SMELTER USES OUTOKUMPU OY PELLETIZE/PERHEAT PROCESS. CAPACITY IS A SLIGHT QUESTION MARK BECAUSE OF OPERATING AT SUCH A HIGH POWER LOAD RATE. I HAVE 40,000 MTPY HIGH-C FECR IN NETWORK FLOW MODEL WHILE CO.CLAIMS
