Deposit AS OF 1988 TWO FURNACES IN PRODUCTION: (1) 6 MVA FURNACE FOR ABOUT 40-45,000 MTPY SLAG. (2) 10 MVA FURNACE FOR ABOUT 9,500-10,000 MTPY SICR. ABOVE SLAG & SICR AMOUNTS SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE ABOUT 15,000 MTPY OF LOW-C FECR. IN ORIGINAL NETFLOW MODEL I HAD THIS SMELTER AS 14,000 MTPY HIGH-C FECR (ITALY HAS NO LOW-C FECR PRODUCTION IN THE MODEL). THIS SHOULD BE CHANGED IN SUBSEQUENT VERSIONS.--E.B. 5/90.
