Comments on the reserve resource information

  • QA=EXT QUANTITY ASSAYS ARE IN EXTRACTABLE GRADES. PEBBLE IS 30% OF PRODUCT GRADES OTHER THAN P2O5 NOT DETERMINED BY ZWI MINING RECOVERY = 85% THIS PROPERTY DATA FILE WAS REEVALUATED ON SEPT. 23, 1985. ANY RESERVE/RESOURCE DATA APPEARING IN Q-MATRIX 7 REPRESENTS THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATES AND WOULD REPLACE TONNAGES/GRADES FOUND IN OTHER Q DATA SETS. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE YEARS WERE DELETED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO COMPANY PLANS TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY AT THIS TIME. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CONTACT THE CURRENT PRIVATE OWNERS FOR UPDATED INFORMATION. THE ZWI DATA ON THIS PROPERTY APPEARED TO BE CORRECT AND WAS RE-ENTERED IN MATRIX 7. ALL THE 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. MATRIX 8 IS A RESERVE/RESOURCE ESTIMATE BASED ON AVERAGE TONNAGES PER MINABLE ACRE FOR INDUSTRIAL PHOSPHATE PROPERTIES IN MANATEE COUNTY. M9C7=M8C1 QA=EXT MATRIX 9 COLUMN 7 EQUALS MATRIX 8 COLUMN 1. QUANTITY ASSAYS ARE IN EXTRACTABLE GRADES.
