General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit UG MINING WAS SUSPENDED EARLY IN 1994 DUE TO INCONSISTANT SMELTER DEMAND AS WELL AS LOW ORE GRADE. OP MINING IS CONTINUING ON A LIMITED BASIS, WITH ORE BEING MARKETED TO NEARBY COPPER SMELTERS AS SILICEOUS FLUX AND ALSO AS CONSTRUCTION AGGREGATES.
