Friability Performance Friability data in terms of percentage of fines content by weight as follows:
Stress I Stress II
As Produced Generated Total Generated Total
0.4 % 2.4 % 2.8 % 3.7 % 4.1 %

Flowability: As determined by the SUDIC method S9-77, "Calculation of the Flowability of

Formed Sulfur Products", the following point score applies: 89 Points

Retained Water: a) Encapsulated (essentially permanent):0.2% maximum

b) Surface adherent (slow disengagement): 1.8%
c) Free (rapid disengagement): 1.0%

It is projected rapid disengagement water will be reduced to 0.25% in actual operations.

Static Angle of Repose 29 + 1.5°.

Description of the methods used to perform the tests listed above appear in the publication
"Sampling and Testing Sulfur Forms" published by the Sulfur Development Institute of Canada in
