    1961 TONS OF ORE 39228.61
    __________________
    46,640 tons (short tons?) This is very close to the 47,000 tons cited by MS-94.

    (No idea where these numbers came from. They were in the original MRDS entry with only reference "AEC Prelim Field Inv Airborne Anomali".)
  • MS-94 cites 47,000 short tons which is the equivalent of 42,638 mt. Note that 47,000 is close to the 46,640 (perhaps the same due to rounding) previously reported.
