A fine time to GRIND

摘要

"Only after five months of continuous chemical testing for our scrubber stone customers did we grow comfortable enough with the deposit to consider the fine grind application," Hingst said. "Additional coring was completed as part of our due diligence on the lower part of our deposit, and after favorable results we decided to take a complete look at the business to see if there was an opportunity." With its chemically stable deposit and substantial reserves - the company's goal is 25 years of reserves at each location - North American Limestone found the decision easy to explore the fine grind business. So it contracted with Louisville-based Aggregate Processing Inc. on construction of the turnkey project and is leasing the facility from Natural Resource Partners LP.
