Notes

A few thousand tons pro­duced from surface and underground operations. Resources probably de­pleted.

Underground mine which produced up to 100,000 tons of ore.

Underground mine probably produced up to 50,000 tons of ore.

Underground mine probably produced a few hundred tons of ore.

Probably produced a few hundred tons.

Little if any production. Mineralization generally low grade.

Short drift on mineral­ization but no produc­tion. Mineralization limited and low grade.
