The Ore Grade and Depth Influence on Copper Energy
2016-11-22 The study evaluated implications of different ore grades and mine-depth on the energy inputs to extract and process copper. Based on a 191 value dataset from 28 copper mining operations, seven model equations explaining operational energy costs were statistically evaluated. Energy costs for copper mines with leaching operations were not found to be significantly affected by ore grades nor mine ...

Learning Goals: -What is an ore deposit?
2018-8-7 which will help you to decide where to drill. Copper grade is the concentration of copper in the ore rock. To calculate the grade of copper for the sample, geologists use the equation: (amount of copper metal/amount of copper ore rock)*100 2. If a deposit area has 200lbs of copper in 10,000lbs of ore rock, what is the grade? 200/10000*100=2% 3.
