There is a inconsistency regarding the start of phosphate mining in Tunisia.
In the history paragraph there is this sentence: "In 1890, many areas were discovered for mining extractions. Zinc mining began in 1892, iron ore mining in 1906, and phosphate mining in 1996."
In the Production and impact paragraph there is a photograph of phosphate mining in Tunisia c. 1930. Crispulop (talk) 14:23, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
