Comments on the reserve resource information

  • MATRIX 1/BAUXITE KAOLIN AND LOW GRADE BAUXITE OR BAUXITIC CLAY ARE MINED. BAUXITE FROM THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN MINED FOR ALUMINUM BUT SINCE 1945 ALL ORE IS USED IN REFRACTORY PRODUCTS AND IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CHEMICALS. REVIEWED BY M. DAVIS, EFOC, DEC.,1978. PURPOSE OF REVIEW WAS TO CORRECT TRANSLATION ERRORS, NOT TO UPDATE INFORMATION. ALL INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS DEPOSIT PROVIDED BY ALABAMA GEOLOGIC SURVEY.
  • MATRIX 1/ORIGINAL DRY TONS AND GRADES CHANGED TO WET TONS AND GRADES.
