MINERALS AVAILABILITY COMMODITY DIRECTORY ON PHOSPHATE 
 
 By Dale R. Spangenberg, Edward F, Carey, and Paula M. Takosky" 
 
 ABSTRACT 
 
 This Bureau of Mines Information Circular on phosphate is one of a 
 series of minerals availability commodity directories. Nonconfidential 
 information from the Minerals Availability Program data base covering 
 148 domestic and 103 foreign phosphate properties and deposits has been 
 abstracted for use in this directory. Abstracts include applicable 
 data on location, published reserves and resources, geology, mine and 
 benef iciation systems, and operational information.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 This publication is one of a series of 
 commodity directories from the Bureau of 
 Mines Minerals Availability Program. The 
 directory is intended to provide Govern- 
 ment personnel and the general public 
 with site-specific information on major 
 identified domestic and foreign phosphate 
 properties and deposits. It is a compi- 
 lation of nonproprietary deposit informa- 
 tion abstracted from the Minerals Avail- 
 ability Program data base. Included in 
 the abstracts are locational information, 
 published reserve and resource estima- 
 tions, geological descriptions, mine and 
 benef iciation systems, and actual or es- 
 timated operational parameters. 
 
 The Bureau of Mines Minerals Availabil- 
 ity Program conducts engineering and eco- 
 nomic availability appraisals of nonfuel 
 mineral commodities. These appraisals 
 are made after systematic resource and 
 engineering-cost evaluations of site- 
 specific deposits have been conducted and 
 the data entered into the Minerals Avail- 
 ability Program data base. Deposits are 
 chosen for evaluation based on their con- 
 tribution or potential to significantly 
 contribute to the overall availability of 
 a commodity. 
 
 The reserve and resource data presented 
 in this report are restricted to in- 
 formation on specific deposits, or ag- 
 gregated deposits, obtained from pub- 
 lished sources. Minerals availability 
 assessments on reserve and resource data 
 
 often are based on information provided 
 by mining firms as company confidential 
 data which cannot be presented in non- 
 aggregated form. The published data pre- 
 sented herein are included to provide 
 some information on reserve and resource 
 potentials for given deposits, or aggre- 
 gated deposits. These values may not 
 represent the most current information 
 being utilized in the Bureau's analysis 
 or the amount of reserve at a given 
 property. 
 
 The comparison of reserve and resource 
 information as presented in this report 
 and other Minerals Availability Program 
 reports with estimates from other 
 sources, on either a specific property, 
 aggregated properties, or commodity ba- 
 sis, may show differences in estimates. 
 Differences may be due to variations in 
 terminology, changes in estimates of re- 
 serve and resource data over time, and 
 the source of the estimates. Factors af- 
 fecting such changes include the number 
 of deposits considered, changes in eco- 
 nomic conditions, additional exploration 
 efforts, and depletion of ore due to pro- 
 duction. These factors may account for 
 discrepancies in the amount of reserves 
 and resources being compared. 
 
 Additional information on the Minerals 
 Availability Program appears in Informa- 
 tion Circular 8887, "The Bureau of Mines 
 Minerals Availability System: An Update 
 of Information Circular 8654." 
 
 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
 
 Compilation of the phosphate directory 
 was supported by the Minerals Availabil- 
 ity Program staff at the Eastern Field 
 Operations Center, Pittsburgh, Pa., and 
 coordinated through the Division of 
 Minerals Availability, Washington, D.C. 
 The deposit evaluations included in the 
 Minerals Availabilty Program data base, 
 
 from which information for this directory 
 was abstracted, were completed by evalu- 
 ators at the Eastern Field Operations 
 Center, Pittsburgh, Pa., Intermountain 
 Field Operations Center, Denver, Colo., 
 Western Field Operations Center, Spokane, 
 Wash., and Minerals Availability Field 
 Office, Denver, Colo. 
 
ORGANIZATION OF DIRECTORY ABSTRACTS 
 
 The Directory is divided into domestic 
 and foreign sections. Domestic deposits 
 are listed alphabetically by State and 
 county; foreign deposits are listed by 
 country and political subdivision. With- 
 in each country or political subdivision, 
 
 deposits are listed by Minerals Avail- 
 ability Program sequence number. 4 The 
 number of domestic deposits is summarized 
 in table 1, and the number of foreign de- 
 posits in table 2.

 4 The sequence number is a unique 10-digit reference number assigned to each de- 
 posit. For domestic deposits, the first three digits designate the State, the next 
 three digits designate the county, and the last four digits designate a number unique 
 to each deposit within that State and county. For foreign deposits, the first three 
 digits designate the nation, the next three digits designate the political subdivi- 
 sion, and the last four digits designate a number unique to each deposit within that 
 nation and political subdivision. 
 
Each deposit abstract consists of six 
 
 data sets. These are listed below in the 
 
 order in which they appear within an 
 abstract. 
 
 1. Location and general deposit 
 information. 
 
 2. Published reserve and resource 
 information. 
 
 3. Deposit historical information. 
 
 4. Geological and spatial characteris- 
 tics of deposit. 
 
 5. Mine and mill information. 
 
 6. Bibliographic records. 
 
 Each abstract is composed of screened 
 data elements of an individual deposit 
 selected from the Minerals Availability 
 Program data base. Proprietary data 
 
 elements have been omitted from this di- 
 rectory. Because of the limited amount 
 of published reserve information on indi- 
 vidual domestic phosphate deposits, ag- 
 gregated reserve and resource information 
 has been included for domestic deposits, 
 on a broader area basis. Mine and mill 
 operational information is included only 
 for phosphate deposits that are currently 
 producing or temporarily shut down. The 
 date the information was obtained is in- 
 cluded in each deposit abstract. Metric 
 units are used throughout the abstract 
 listings in this directory. 
 
 Two appendixes are included as an aid 
 in directory use. Appendix A presents 
 an alphabetical listing of abstracts by 
 deposit name. Appendix B presents a 
 listing of abstract data sets, subsets, 
 and data elements that may appear in 
 the abstracts; terms with usage particu- 
 lar to this directory are defined in 
 brackets.
