This activity covers the determination of Bulk Sorting potential from a set of UC populated blocks. From the supplied set of data determine both the original and Bulk Sorting grade tonnage results. Assuming the same cut-off grade, does sorting increase metal produced?
Activity 3 Notes:
- Cut-off grades here are calculated by greater than or equal to the value
- Calculating tonnages in the sorting case needs to reflect the different masses being accepted from each block
- Grades need to be weighted to the relevant mass
- RR values here are for relative upgrades at fixed points and will not adhere to a normal curve shape
- Each cut-off grade can produce different relative upgrades
- What would the important metrics be when comparing the sorting and no sorting cases?
