I've entered the above as an iron mine but srictly speaking it's a brown ore mine. Should I call it the latter or a limonite mine or have I flipped into pedant mode?

I think the answer would be what would most people think of it as? If most people would think of it as an iron mine, call it an iron mine. If most people would think of it as a limonite mine call it that. If most people would think of it as a pot noodle mine, call it a pot noodle mine!

I'm not actually privy to what most people think what it is but I get get your gist, Otherwise we could get into the wolframite and scheelite discussion about tungsten. Easier to stick to the end product but on the other hand............ Smile
