Comments on the reserve resource information

  • ADIT UPDATE 1993: A TONNAGE WAS NOT INPUT TO ADIT FOR THIS SEQUENCE NUMBER, BECAUSE IT INCLUDES PROPERTIES ALREADY INPUT INDIVIDUALLY TO ADIT.
  • THE TONNAGE SHOWN SUMMARIZES THE ENTIRE IDENTIFIED RESOURCES OF NATURAL IRON ON THE MESABI RANGE. RESERVE ESTIMATES FOR INDIVIDUAL DEPOSITS ARE SHOWN UNDER SPECIFIC DEPOSIT SEQUENCE NUMBERS WHERE TONNAGES ARE PRESENTED IN THE "R" AND "Q" DATA SETS. NO IRON GRADE IS GIVEN.
