Deposit THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE VALUES ARE APPROXIMATE. THE RRESHEN MINE IS LOCATED VERY NEAR THE TOWN OF RRESHEN. BGR REPORTED THE MINE NAME AS DERVEN AND IT ALSO REPORTED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL SMALL MINES IN THE DISTRICT WITH A COMBINED PRODUCTION OF 60,000 METRIC TONS PER YEAR. FINALLY, BGR REPORTED THAT 4,500 METRIC TONS PER YEAR OF CONCENTRATES WERE SENT TO THE LAC SMELTER. ALL PRODUCTION FIGURES ARE ESTIMATES.
