Description
Summary:Geological-and-metallurgical mapping is carried out during operational exploration of a deposit for controlling grade of ore fed for processing. The paper is devoted to studying the main approaches to metallurgical assessment of ore deposits based on the methods of geological-and-metallurgical mapping and modeling. The relevance and necessity of conducting geological-and-metallurgical research programs at different stages of deposit exploration was confirmed. The main low-volume sample studying methods for determining key parameters of ores that directly affect on the efficiency of each stage of ore processing for assessing spatial variability of the parameters are shown. The proposed approach to geological-and-metallurgical modeling allows solving a number of problems, including: assessing ores across the entire range of knowledge (but not solely based on useful component grades); understanding the ore material composition and grade variability; estimating ore reserves with differentiation by ore type and grade.
