THIS RESERVE IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND ITS COM N TOO UNREALISTIC TO ATTEMPT OR TO JUSTIFY A BREAKOUT OF SPE ESERVES FOR INDIVIDUAL DEPOSITS. DETAILED WORK IS REQUIRED B EANINGFULL RESERVES CAN BE COMPILED; THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE NE CONSIDERS THE LOW GRADES AND CONTAMINANTS ASSOCIATED WITH PHOSPHATE DEPOSITS. DETAILED STUDIES IN THE FUTURE MAY VERY NFIRM RESERVES TO SEVERAL MILLIONS OF TONS,HOWEVER PRECISELY AND TO WHAT EXTENT SUCH RESERVES EXIST CAN NOT BE DETERMINED S TIME. IT IS SIGNIFICANT IN THISREGARD TO NOTE THAT MOST OF OWINGS ARE TOO LOW GRADE AND CONTAMINATED TO BE OF ECONOMIC T. A FEW DEPOSITS EXIST IN THE STATE OF NUEVO LEON FROM WHIC LL QUANTITY OF PHOSPHATE ROCK IS PRESENTLY BEING MINED. |
