Comments on other economic factors

  • CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION AND GRADES ARE: FOR 1989, 18,600 WITH NO GRADE AVAILABLE; FOR 1988 6,500 METRIC TONS AT 49 PERCENT IRON AND 15.1 PERCENT SIO2; FOR 1987, 42,700 METRIC TONS AT 43.3 PERCENT IRON AND 14.6 PERCENT SIO2; FOR 1986, 60,900 METRIC TONS AT 46 PERCENT IRON AND 12.3 PERCENT IRON; FOR 1985, 61,200 METRIC TONS AT 46.3 PERCENT IRON AND 12.2 PERCENT SIO2; AND FOR 1984, 56,300 METRIC TONS AT 48 PERCENT IRON AND 13.6 PERCENT SIO2.
  • 1985 ORE PRODUCTION WAS 35,000 METRIC TONS AND 1984 ORE PRODUCTION WAS 65,300 METRIC TONS. STRIPPING RATIOS (WASTE:ORE) IS VERY HIGH. FOR 1984 THE STRIPPING RATIO WAS 10.8:1, FOR 1988 THE STRIPPING RATIO WAS 161.4:1, AND FOR 1989, THE STRIPPING RATIO WAS 31.8:1. THE MINE CLOSED IN LATE 1989 AND NO FURTHER DATA HAS BEEN RELEASED DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT THE MINE HAS BEEN REOPENED.
