The Canadian Gypsum Industry
From introduction: The production of gypsum is one of the oldest industries in Canada, and in point of gypsum output Canada ranks third among the countries of the world. Gypsum was discovered in the Maritime Provinces at a very early date, but there is no authentic record..of production until about 1822, when gypsum was mined on a small scale in Ontario. Since.then the production has grown slowly but steadily to more than a million tons. In 1928 the output was 1,205,846 short tons, valued at $3,622,007.

Manganese Nodule Resources of Three Areas in the Northeast Pacific Ocean: With Proposed Mining-Beneficiation Systems and Costs
From introduction: While much has been written concerning nodule resources, conceptual mine-process systems, and economics, no published work is available which addresses the question of profitability of mining a specific nodule deposit. Therefore, the purposes of this report are to analyze available information on deposits in the northeast Pacific high-grade zone in an attempt to identify areas of high grade and abundance, and determine their minability and profitability based on existing technology and economics. A final purpose, irrespective of profitability, is to analyze the potential beneficial impacts nodule production could have on the U.S. supply of nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese.

Coal Reserves of the Boltsfork Quadrangle, Kentucky: A Coal Recoverability Study
Abstract: "This report presents a U.S. Bureau of Mines study that incorporates coal mining factors, cola recovery factors, and economic factors into the definition of an economically recoverable coal resource. The relationship between these factors to the Energy Information Administration's estimate of U.S. coal resources--the "Demonstrated Reserve Base"--is discussed. The Boltsfork 7 1/2-minute quadrangle in eastern Kentucky was selected as the stud area. Results indicate that of the original 280.2 M tons of resource in the quadrangle, only 99.8 M tons (35.6%) is recoverable at a mining cost of $25 per ton or less" (p. 1).
