If the entire tract of Castle was in a zone <br />where mining ~+as allo~,red, it would follow that the zoning reso- <br />. lution is speaking in terms of total acreage, not the size of <br />the shaft opening or the quarnf opening. This means that the' <br />area that can be :yorY.ed from the quarry operinq at the time <br />the mining ryas allovied by the zoning can be worked until the <br />ore reserve is depleted.
