| PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION CURVE: |
| During a screen analysis the representative material sample was subjected to a standard shaking action on a series of progressively finer screens ranging from 6 MESH to 230 MESH. The curve below records the percentage by weight retained on each of the test screens and in the pan. |
