Final The northwest portion of the final map is incomplete, containing areas labeled as “old works” for which no outer boundary is shown. The boundaries for this area are based on the property owned by the company. The area shown on the accompanying map is the approximate size expected for the reported production. This suggests that the mine outline is complete.
