Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE TEUTONIC BORE MINERAL DEPOSIT CONSISTS OF ONE ORE BODY. THE EVALUATOR CHOSE TO USE TWO DIFFERENT QUANTITY MATRIX BECAUSE THE DEV. PLAN USES TWO DIFFERINT MINES (S1 AND U1) OPERATING AT DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS. THEREFORE THE VALUE FOR THE PUBLISHED RESERVES IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF Q1 AND Q2. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY (AS OF 1980) THAT RESERVES ADDITIONAL TO THOSE ADDRESSED IN THIS SURVEY COULD BE PROVEN UP. GEOMETRY INFORMATION IS THE SAME FOR Q1 AND Q2 FOR THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME ORE BODY BUT BEING MINED USING TWO DIFFERENT METHODS.
