General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit INTERMITTENT PRODUCERS HAVE RELATIVELY HIGH COSTS BECAUSE OF UNDERGROUND, COMPLEX DEPOSITS AND HIGH SURFACE TRANSPORTATION COSTS. SOME EQUIPMENT FROM U.S. MANUFACTURES (CATERPILLAR). HIGH COSTS WILL PROBABLY FORCE THESE MINES TO CLOSE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
