Comments

Comment (Deposit): THE MINNIE JANE IS ONE OF 39 BUTTE MN DEPOSITS. A COMPLETE EVALUATION OF THE BUTTE MN DISTRICT IS AVAILABLE UNDER SEQ. NO. 0300930224. THE TONNAGE PRESENT IN THE MINNIE JANE IS NOT USED IN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUTTE MN DISTRICT BECAUSE THE ONE OCCURS IN VEINS LESS THAN 1 METER THICK WHICH IS INACESSABLE BY THE PROPOSED UNDERGROUND MINING METHODS.
