The Phase II deposits have been found to be fairly shallow, shal-low, so they could be mined eiether by open-pit or th2 cheap ramp-type methods. The Sheridan group has calculated cal-culated the following tonnages and grade for the deposits: Marie 2.1 million tons at 1.48. Hidden 900.000 tons at 2.05. Candy 1.23 million tons at 1.26. B Extension 1 million tons at 1.5. Old Hickory no estimate yei. Phase HI is expected to be the richest undertaking. It involves in-volves a deep, free - milling sulfide ore body of major potential po-tential known as the Valley deposit. Noranda - Shield has three years to decide whether to put this phase into production. produc-tion. It will require a great deal of fill-in drilling in addition addi-tion to a shaft to determine whether the deposit should b-e mined. This phase would require re-quire a mill of 5,000 to 10,000 ton capacity. If Noranda-Shield digs into Phase III, Toledo, in addition to its 30 interest, would receive re-ceive a minimum of $200,000 each year from this phase after the three-year period of determination. de-termination. The Northern Miner quoted Peter Joralemon, a highly regarded re-garded U S. geologist, in assessing as-sessing the Valley deposit: "Of 11 core holes drilled in this area, eight interested significant sig-nificant copper values inskarn. The mineralized area probed by these holes is 6,000 feet long and 3,000 feet wide. These cut one to four copper bearing skarn zones from depths of 850 feet to 2950 feet. "The individual mineralized beds ranged in thickness from 9 to 121 feet and in grade from 0.76 to 1.78 copper, averaging 33 feet of 1.09. "If proven continuous this represents 68 million tons averaging av-eraging 1.09, with $1 to $2 in by-product values." Summing up the vast undertaking, under-taking, Mr. Sheridan said, "It's like having a whole copper camp to yourself." And in the center lies Mil-ford, Mil-ford, like an expectant mother, waiting for the birth of another an-other mining era.

Disclosing the nuptial news are the parents of the bride-elect, bride-elect, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis A. Nielson of Richfield. Parents of the prospective groom are Mr. and Mrs. David C. Reese, Mih'ord.

They will continue their education edu-cation at Southern Utah State College following their marriage. mar-riage. minimum. Involved in Phase II are five deposits, not including the OK mine and the deep-seated Va ley outlay. Sheridan is convinced con-vinced there is plenty of ore for a 1500-ton operation. "We think we are looking at 7 million tons with an overall grade of 1.4 to 1.5 copper for phase II," Mr. Sheridan recently re-cently told the Northern Min- |
