Comments on the production information

  • TOTAL PRODUCTION IS ESTIMATED AT 90000 TONS OF ORE, WHICH WA AND RED TO A DEPTH OF 74 FT., AND HARD, BLUE MAGNETITE BELOW REF.700, ON P.7, STATES THAT POSSIBLE ORE RESERVES ARE ESTIM 540000 TONS OF INFERRED ORE. THE DIP-NEEDLE SURVEY OF 1944, H DID NOT PRODUCE PROMISING RESULTS. THE CONCLUSION REACHED B REF.700, IS THAT THIS AREA SHOULD BE EXPLORED FURTHER BY DRI METHODS. NOTE: REF.701 EXPLAINS THAT MORE THAN 1 MINE WAS KNOWN BY TH COOPER, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS THE ONE DESCRIBED BY T ENTRY.
