Cut-off Grades and Optimising the Strategic Mine Plan

This volume, written by Brian Hall, presents an in-depth look at an integral part of mining strategy optimisation – cut-off specification. The publication builds a thorough understanding of cut-offs, covering simple concepts along with the more complex and comprehensive models of cut-off theory and evaluation practices. The first section of the volume addresses the principles underlying the more complex approaches to strategy optimisation; whilst the second section deals with the finer details of conducting evaluations.
