Comments on the reserve resource information

  • CURRENT ORE GRADE DELIVERED FOR BENEFICIATION AVERAGES .38% SN, .307 % W, AND 2-10% CU.
  • IN TWENTY YEARS OF PRODUCTION, PRODUCED 77,000,000 MT OF TAILINGS. IF THIS IS APPROXIMATELY EQUIVALENT TO ORE TONNAGE, THEN PRODUCTION IS 3,850,000 MT/YR. IT WAS STATED THAT ORE RE- SERVES HAVE NOT DIMINISHED AFTER TWENTY YEARS OF MINING BECAUSE OF NEW DISCOVERIES. RESOURCE HAS BEEN ESTIMATED BASED ON CURRENT PRODUCTION LEVEL AND A MINE LIFE OF TEN YEARS(90%), TWENTY YEARS(75%), AND THIRTY YEARS(50%). 3,850,000 MT/YR. X 10 YRS.= 38,500,000 MT 3,850,000 MT/YR. X 20 YRS.= 77,000,000 MT 3,850,000 MT/YR. X 30 YRS.=115,500,000 MT TAILINGS MINABLE AND ACCOUNT FOR 22,000,000 MT HIGH GRADE SN AND 50,000,000 MT OF LOWER GRADE SN.

Comments on other economic factors

  • TWO FLOTATION PLANTS AT THE COMPLEX. ONE RECOVERS TIN AND TUNGSTEN BY GRAVITATION METHODS, THE OTHER RECOVERS COPPER BY FLOTATION. THEY PROCESS APPROX. 500,000 MT/DAY. RECOVERY ESTIMATED AT 45%, NO DETAILS AVAILABLE.
  • UNDERGROUND METHODS EMPLOYED, NO DETAILS AVAILABLE. PRODUCTION RATE IS FOR THE ENTIRE COMPLEX(3.85 MMT/YR.).
