Ask the supplier about current availability, material range, fabrication and test data for your application. A listing or MSHA status does not establish supply readiness.
The current producer catalogue names this selection. The 1990 geological report establishes its New Mexico origin at the Mesa Aparejo deposit; the Lucero permit remains a historical site relationship, not proof of present extraction.
