Grade Control in Underground Gold Vein Operations
Grade control is a process of maximising value and reducing risk, through the delivery of quality tonnes to the mill via the accurate definition of ore and waste. It essentially comprises data collection, integration and interpretation; local resource estimation; stope design; supervision of mining and stockpile management. The foundation of all grade control programs should be …

Integrating the Theory of Sampling into Underground Mine Grade Control
Grade control aims to deliver adequately defined tonnes of ore to the process plant. The foundation of any grade control programme is collecting high-quality samples within a geological context. The requirement for quality samples has long been recognised, in that these should be representative and fit-for-purpose. Correct application of the Theory of Sampling …

Procedure and Example of Grade Control in Open Pit Mining
Grade control plays an essential role in the good running of a mine. The factors at play are many, starting from a good analysis of the geology and a correct sampling procedure._x000D_ Once this is achieved (and it is an essential prerequisite), the problem is to adequately define what is ore and what is waste. This paper tries to show, through a small example, how simple …

Improved grade control in open pit mines
Grade control in hard-rock open pit mining is the process of determining the destination for the mined material. Numerical studies are undertaken to show how grade control can be improved, that is, less ore sent to the waste dump and less waste sent to the mill.
