A Comparison between the Standard Heterogeneity Test and the Simplified Segregation Free Analysis for Sampling Protocol Optimisation

A Comparison between the Standard Heterogeneity Test and the Simplified Segregation Free Analysis for Sampling Protocol Optimisation

Estimating the heterogeneity of base and precious metal mineralisation is a great challenge for mining engineers and geologists who undertake resource evaluation, grade control and reconciliation. The calculation of the minimum broken sample mass to represent a given lot of mineralisation at a given...
