Los Pozos
The Los Pozos Iron Ore Mine is located in the State of Michoacan; it is classified as a high grade A Hematite Fe ²O³ and Magnetite Fe ³O4; iron ore mine with proven reserves of near 30,000,000 metric tons. There are three iron ore mines located on the mineral lease, each about the same size for an estimated probable reserve of near 90,000,000 metric tons; only Los Pozos has been surveyed for geological formations, the other two mines are yet to named or surveyed.
The Los Pozos Iron Ore Mine is in pre-development at this time with heavy haul road infrastructure scheduled to begin in January 2006, pending the issue of all required governmental permits. (See Geology, Mine Location and Chemical Analysis for more detail)
