OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY
The main objectives of this study were to obtain a preliminary general view of the nepheline mineral resource at Table Mountain, Oregon. These objectives included:
1) A general reconnaissance of distribution and potential of the nepheline syenite by a field inspection.
2) Collecting field samples at the Table Mountain.
3) Chemical analysis of samples in a laboratory to determine their nepheline, iron and other elements.
4) Estimate the potential reserves of the deposit.
5) Explore the future steps to determine the economic viability and applications of the resource.
6) Obtain background and historical information on the prospect.
7) Discuss possible approaches for ore beneficiation methods.
8) Determine a research strategic plan.
9) Develop a report.
