350 to 160 men:, The dismissed workere were transferred for work at
Zobee. The plan targets were reduced from 600 raters mine edeence
per mo" to 150 meters, and from 25000 boxes of grade-III contact ore
per month to 300 - 400 boxeo. These modificnticns wee believed to

But on advanuing working area 109, a &civil numter of high-yield ore
pockets were struck and it was hopee to strike rore ebundent pstches,
Possibly even eitchblende, by further advancing the mine into the slate
region. These findings reviled the activities at Bergen- After
fulfilment of the reduced plan targets for July 1955, new labcrers
were hired, in early Auguat- The target figure :iee to a montle-
