Comments on the production information

  • LITTLE INFORMATION IS ON THIS SMALL PRODUCER WITH SMALL KNOWN RESOURCES. THE MINE WAS OPERATED AT A REDUCED RATE IN 1988, BUT COULD BE CLOSED PRESENTLY, IN 1992. THE CAPACITY OF THE PLANT WAS 5000 MTPY.

Comments on other economic factors

  • THE DESTINATION OF CONCENTRATES IS NOT STATED, BUT TREPCA IS THE MOST LIKELY DESTINATION AT THIS TIME.
  • THE ZUTA PRLA MAY BE OPERATED ON A VERY LIMITED BASIS.
  • THE BRSKOVO WAS A SMALL OPEN PIT OPERATION.
