Deposit Deposit is actually located in the Province of Tanobrzeg. Sulfur recovery will by Frasch wells. The mine is being redesigned due to water pollution concersn. Delays in proceeding with the Osiek have occurred due ot funding problems. This has resulted in down-sizing the planned size of the mine.
