Preliminary application of grade equivalent theory in a local section of a mine and economic estimation of the deposit

Abstract

By introducing the practical application of grade equivalent theory in a copper -cobalt mine, it can show the maximum economic value of the individual ore block and the mine, maximize the comprehensive utilization of limited resources and contains positive significance for extending the service life of the mine. Briefly introducing the steps of Micromine software in the process of reserve estimation and the feasibility of displaying the economic value of individual ore blocks. Estimation of reserve can be completed objectively and scientifically by Micromine software, grade and economic value of ore blocks can be displayed in three-dimensional image.
