Abstract. In some mining operations, one of the most important roles played by the geologist is the supervision of grade control. In an openpit operation, this involves the sampling of blasthole cuttings produced by downthehole hammer drills and the classification of bench reserves into ore, low grade or waste material, or into various metallurgical types.
WhatsAppNortham Platinum, the deepest mine on the BC, operates at 2km. The BC hosts over 80% of the remaining global PGM supply. Most of the world''s PGM supply was mined from the BC. The BC hosts 80% global chrome resources. In this section. South Africa (RSA) Bushveld Complex (BC) Geography; Resources Reserves ; Pilanesberg Platinum Mines (PPM) Other Projects; Technical Reports;
WhatsAppGrade Control, together with operational management and mine planning ensures that the qualities of the blocks planned for mining and the material being mined meet the stringent process requirements of the refinery, in terms of zinc grade, gangue acid consumption and deleterious elements that may impact on the efficiency and costs of the metallurgical process. 3. THE GRADE CONTROL PROCESS A

WhatsApp· Cost Reduction in Mining Operations Discussion The operating cost structures of mining operations globally have increased significantly over past years. When raw material prices are high it might appear to be an odd time to be thinking about cost reduction, but in fact it is the ideal time. History has shown us is that
WhatsAppIn most massive mining operations, grade control programmes must be specified in terms of protocols that define sampling points and methods, appropriate for the method, from the creation of the grade/block model to the final product dispatch. Grade variability in such operations is often high, and this variability must be understood from various phases of delineation drilling. Sampling methods

WhatsAppSince mining in some cases is already at more than 2 km vertical depth (as at the Northam Platinum Mine), assuming material to that depth can all be mined is technically straightforward. Mining to greater depth will encounter high temperatures and serious rock stresses. However, mining of the Witwatersrand gold reefs has progressed to a depth of 4 km. Hence, mining of Bushveld reefs to

WhatsAppFor the Breakeven (Mining) cutoff grade, mw = 0. Material below this grade should not be mined. These cutoff grades are the fastest way to classify ore and waste, however, in a more detailed analysis they should not be relied on. Lane''s Method.
