Comments on the production information

  • TO BEGIN PRODUCTION IN 1981 - PROPOSED. ABWilson moved this comment from the references to the comments. And changed the development status from producer to prospect. It does not appear that this property ever went into production.

Comments on development

  • ABWilson changed the workings from surface to well to reflect the solution mining. There is no record of this "mine" in the literature prior to Dahlkamp, 2010. The mentions in the mindat.org and mineralmundi.com sites clearly just used the original MAS record with no additional material.
