| Deposit | 7-29-75 DATA IS MOSTLY FROM REEVES, ROBERT, 1966, USGS PROF. 341-E, AND IS EFFECTIVE FOR 1960. AT THAT TIME NO FURTHER ORE (60% IRON) WAS EXPOSED. SOME SOFT HEMATITE SUITABLE FOR SINTER KNOWN, BUT IT IS MORE CONVENIENT TO MINE ELSEWHERE SINCE ALL EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MINE SITE. |
