5.0 to 160 men The dismissed workers were transferred for work et
Zobeel The plan targets were reduced from 600 Deters mine ndvance
par mcnth to 150 meters, and from 2,000 boxes of' grado-III contact ore
per month to 300 - 400 boxes, These medifiestichs we: belleved to
have teen ranee because of the low yield of the Fergen mine,
But on advancing working area 109, a mall minter of ;ligh-yield ore
pockets were struck end, it was hoped to strike Eore abundant patches,
oossibly even litchblendo, by further advancing the mi:le into the slate
region. These findings reviTed the eAivities 'at Bergen, .After
fulfilmont of the reduced plan targets for July 1955, new 1.atrere
were hired in early August. The target figure were raised. to 8 month-
ly.advance rate of 350 meters, and un output e o00 - 300 torsa of
grade-III contact ore. At present, mining neUvitlea are predominantly
