Comments on the production information

  • 762 000 MT/YR ORE, ONLY TIO2 AND FE HAVE EVER BEEN RECOVERED PRESENTLY MINING THE SANFORD HILL-SOUTH EXTENSION; WILL MOVE TO CHENNY POND NEXT (MOST LIKELY)ONLY TIO2 AND FE HAVE EVER BEEN RECOVERED, NOT VANADIUM

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. ( X; TITANIUM DEMAND.). DEVELOPMENT(UNKNOWN); EXPLORATION(UNKNOWN); ASSESSMENT(SEE C13 ABOVE. HAS BEEN PRODUCING TITANIUM AND OTHER CONCENTRATES THROUGH 1983. PRESENTLY ONLY SELLING IRON CONCENTRATES. STOCKPILING THE TITANIUM (ILMENITE) CONCENTRATES.); V COULD PROBABLY ONLY BE A BY-PRODUCT OF MAGNETITE (FE) PROCESSING. GRADE IN ILMENITE SEPARATES PROBABLY TOO LOW.
