Comments on other economic factors

  • THERE ARE TWO MINING AREAS AT THE DEPOSIT, YUEJINSHAN AND
  • UPPER SEAM FEED GRADE IS 25 WT-PCT, LOWER SEAM FEED GRADE IS 20 WT-PCT. COMBINED WT-PCT IS 23.8.
  • TWO BEDS ARE MINED. AFTER CRUSHING, GRINDING AND DESLIMING, THERE ARE SEPARATE BENEFICIATION PROCESSES FOR EACH BED THE UPPER ORE BED COMPRISES ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE MINE OUTPUT. AFTER WET STORAGE THE TWO CONCENTRATES ARE COMBINED. UPPER SEAM UNDERGOES PHOSPHATE FLOTATION. LOWER SEAM UNDERGOES CARBONATE AND SILICA FLOTATION.
