About the study of the Mountain Magnitnaya in 1911

Abstract

The study on the Mountain Magnitnaya, carried out by me last summer on behalf of the Board of the Joint Stock Company of the Beloretskii Iron Works, is the beginning of work, which practical goal is to determine the iron ore reserves of this deposit. In addition, these studies were supposed to clarify the features in the structure of the deposit, with which must be taken into account when drawing up a rational development plan. The work consisted of drawing up as detailed a geological map as possible; in determining, in accordance with the data obtained as geological research progresses, the location and type of exploration work necessary to determine reserves, and in the organization of these works.
