  • MILL RECOVERY INCLUDES SLURRY LOSSES.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • QA=EXT M1=M2+M3 QUANTITY ASSAYS ARE IN EXTRACTABLE GRADES. MATRIX 1 IS A COMBINATION OF MATRICES 2 AND 3. PEBBLE IS 64% OF PRODUCT GRADES OTHER THAN P2O5 NOT DETERMINED BY ZWI MINING RECOVERY = 85% M7 COL 1 COMMENTS ARE THE SAME AS M7 COL 2. THIS PROPERTY DATA FILE WAS REEVALUATED ON 26 AUGUST,1985. ANY RESERVE/REESOURCE DATA APPEARING IN Q-MATRIX 7 REPRESENT THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATES AND WOULD REPLACE TONNAGES/GRADES FOUND IN OTHER Q DATA SETS. ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CONTACT EACH PROPERTY OWNER BY PHONE AND LETTER FOR CURRENT INFORMATION. MONSANTO DID NOT REPLY. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE YEARS WERE DELETED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO COMPANY PLANS TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY AT THIS TIME. RESOURCES IN COL 2 ARE PARA-ECONOMIC; COL 1 ARE SUB-ECON. ACCORDING TO ZWI DATA. THE ZWI DATA FOR THIS PROPERTY CONTAINED TOO MANY ASSUMPTIONS AND IS MOSTLY CONSIDERED AS INACCURATE. BUT IT WAS USED SINCE IT WAS THE ONLY INFORMATION AVAILABLE. ALL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS DATA BASE MAY NOT BE CORRECT BUT REPRESENTS THE LATEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE, OR ZWI-EFOC INFORMATION WHICH REMAINS IN THE DATA BASE ONLY FOR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. M7 = N/CUM MATRIX 7 COLS ARE NON-CUMULATIVE.
