Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE NIGHT HAWK IS ONE OF 39 BUTTE MN DEPOSITS. A COMPLETE EVALUATION OF THE BUTTE MN DISTRICT IS AVAILABLE UNDER SEQ. NO. 0300930029. THE TONNAGE PRESENT IN THE NIGHT HAWK IS NOT USED IN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUTTE MN DISTRICT BECAUSE THE ORE OCCURS IN VEINS LESS THAN 1 METER THICK WHICH IS INACESSABLE BY CONVENTIONAL UNDERGROUND MINING METHODS.
