Mineralization Comments

Feb 16, 2011 (A Wilson) - It is recommended that Peatland 31E-11 be further investigated. The potential is low for horticultural usedue to the orientation of the mineral islands and Tarrant Lake which split up the deposit into small, inefficient to mine, areas and also due to the heavy tree cover.
