"Development of the Dayton deposit shows that this is a very significant addition to our domestic iron ore reserves."
"Near Dayton, Nevada, the Company controls one of the larger proven iron ore reserves in the western United States. Geological studies, mine layout and beneficiation plans are essentially complete, and emphasis has been directed toward the development of a suitable market."
