Comments on the reserve resource information

  • LARGE, MIGHT BE ECONOMICALLY SIGNIFICANT. ALTHOUGH THE ROCK IS LOW GRADE (ABOUT 20% FE AND 7% TIO2) IT CONCENTRATES WELL (MAGNETIC, ABOUT 65% FE AND 4% TIO2; AND NONMAG., ABOUT 30% FE AND 48% TIO2, SEE TABLES, P. 231, LEONARD AND BUDDINGTON, 1964). V IS LOW: LESS THAN 0.05% V2O5 IN ROCK, 0.15% IN MAG. CONC.
