Interval average DTR sizing test work results for all composites at a P80 grind size of 60 microns, showing the potential Xaudum Iron Ore magnetite specifications (P80 is the grind size at which 80% of the material passes the screen)\n\n-***-\n\n================================================================================\n   Fe %      SiO2 %    Al2O3 %     P %       S %          P80 (Grind Size)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   68.55      2.87      0.33      0...
