Date of Issue: October 11, 1982This souvenir sheet issued on the occasion of ANPEX '82 National Stamp Exhibition at Brisbane, Australia celebrating 75 years of Phosphate Industry in Nauru, which is the primary economic activity since 1907 by exporting phosphate mined from the island.
Nauru was one of three great phosphate rock islands in the Pacific Ocean (the others are Banaba (Ocean Island) in Kiribati and Makatea in French Polynesia); however, the phosphate reserves are nearly depleted.
