Conversion of Geological Data into Mining Data for Ore Deposits

  • Chapter
Economic Evaluations in Exploration

Abstract

The following chapters will deal with revenues and costs, i. e. with costs during the mining stage and revenues for the mine after a saleable product has been put on the market. The geological grades will seldom correspond with the grades of the mill head ore. As a rule the ore is diluted by inclusion of wall rock and losses occur during beneficiation. These factors have to be taken into account before revenues can be calculated.
