Solution. We are solving for the sample size . A 95% degree confidence corresponds to = 0.05. Each of the shaded tails in the following figure has an area of = 0.025. The region to the left of and to the right of = 0 is 0.5 – 0.025, or 0.475. In the table of the standard normal () distribution, an area of 0.475 corresponds to a value of 1.96.
The break-even analysis is important to business owners and managers in determining how many units (or revenues) are needed to cover fixed and variable expenses of the business. Therefore, the concept of break-even point is as follows: Profit when Revenue > Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost. Break-even point when Revenue = Total Variable ...
The quantity of ore mined and waste rock (i.e., overburden or barren rock) removed to produce a refined unit of a mineral commodity, its rock-to-metal ratio (RMR), is an important metric for understanding mine wastes and environmental burdens. In this analysis, we provide a comprehensive examination of RMRs for 25 commodities for …
The main factors influencing the selection include the occurrence condition of ore bodies, technical condition of mining, the value of the ore, working …
There are many factors that contribute to the remnant uncertainty at the time of mining, including small scale geological variability, mining practice, incomplete …
The smallest nested pit outline represents the most robust pit i.e., a pit that will be economically viable even under the worst economic conditions. The smallest nested pit guides the mine planning engineer to the portion of the deposit that should be extracted first since it remains financially attractive even after being penalised by a low ...
The determination of reserves from the available coal resources shows what coal is currently available to be economically extracted, based on market conditions and projected mining costs. Determining available coal resources and reserves are important factors to be considered in the development of a national energy policy and for providing ...
constraining factors in a mining operation and thereby determine the maximum present value of a mining operation. The NPV criterion is consistently quoted as the principal determinant of economic value in mining operations and the relationship between cut-off grade and NPV provides a means by which cut-off grades can be optimized.
Full size image. The concept of the OMU method is to add operational factors for determining block size (s) through the calculation of planned dilution from mining and grade control process. Global and local approaches can be applied in different ways or purposes in the mining sequencing.
The two key parameters determining the sensitivity of this method are the smallest bubble detectable by the operator and the waiting time for bubble generation. This time must be compatible with the production rate and with operator attention. It is reasonable to consider that the smallest bubble an operator could detect has 1
Stage 1: Consider your sample size variables. Before you can calculate a sample size, you need to determine a few things about the target population and the level of accuracy you need: 1. Population size. How many people are you talking about in total? To find this out, you need to be clear about who does and doesn't fit into your group.
The SMU size depends on a number of different factors, including the mining equipment size, the mining method to be used, the direction of mining, and the depositional …
where F 1 is the tension side force and F 2 is the slack side force. The quantity (F 1 - F 2) is the net obtained from the horsepower equation.For flat belts, the value of C is between 2 and 3, depending upon conditions of installation. For V-belts, use C = 1.5.. The axial load produced from gearing must be obtained from considerations of the type of gear-tooth …
waste in the midst of ore. Nevertheless, even large bulk mining equipment may have the ability to mine within a couple of meters of a boundary if the conditions are favorable. The SMU size depends on a number of different factors, including the mining equipment size, the mining method to be used, the direction of mining, and
2.1. Short-term production scheduling concepts. The period time-step in SSTMPS can be months, weeks, days, or shifts. The concept of space is partitioned into …
Mining companies calculate a cut-off grade to determine what portion of the mineral deposit can be mined economically. Many companies apply the break-even grade as the cut-off grade. The break-even grade takes into account the price of the commodity, the expected mine recovery factor, the unit cost to mine the ore, as well as the fixed …
To determine if a mining block is classified as ore or waste, the estimated value is used for this classification. The most common cut-off grade optimisation techniques consider the break-even grade and then adapt this to volume ('hill of value' ( Hall, 2014 )), stage of the mine's life ( Lane, 1988 ) or net present value (NPV) like the ...
The SMU is generally defined on a block model basis and is commonly associated as the selective mining unit (SMU), the smallest volume of material on which …
Set up server racks correctly. Proper server rack setup depends on your data center's size. To avoid server rack issues, consider the size of your racks as well as the size of your space. Most racks can accommodate servers up to 19 inches wide, but you must also account for the height and depth of server racks when planning your use of …
Dispersion in Statistics Explained. Dispersion (scatter or variation) can have multiple meanings based on the context it is used in. For instance, in statistics, it is the factor that helps determine the extent of variation of values in a particular data set.. At the same time, it allows investors to estimate the statistical distribution of potential portfolio returns …
Equipment selection. The equipment selection process for an underground mine design plan has an extremely wide scope as there are a myriad of parameters to consider when incorporating mobile and stationary equipment in hard or soft rock mining applications. This article primarily focuses on the initial selection of mobile equipment in hard rock ...
The selective mining unit is a concept, rather than physical entity, representing the smallest unit you are able to successfully mark out and the mine as a single defined unit. Unfortunately ...
Definition of Longwall Mining • A high extraction method of mining along the face of a predefined block of coal, referred to as a panel, while allowing the immediate roof to collapse upon advancement • Panel Configuration – Panels generally range in size from 500 to 1,000 feet in width and lengths exceeding two miles
The most common approach used in the mining industry for mineral resources modeling is to estimate the grades using ordinary kriging and report the recoverable resources based on this deterministic estimated model. Mineral resources calculated with kriging are a smooth representation of the actual distribution of grades …
Prime factors are factors that are also prime numbers. The factors of any prime number are 1 and the number itself. For example, 13 is a prime number because the factors of this number are 1 and 13. Consider the …
IAS 36 — Impairment of Assets. other factors, such as illiquidity, that market participants would reflect in pricing the future cash flows the entity expects to derive from the asset Cash flow projections should be based on reasonable and supportable assumptions, the most recent budgets and forecasts, and extrapolation for periods beyond budgeted projec ...
With elevated tanks, the cost per unit volume decreases significantly as the tank capacity is increased. A 100,000-gal (380,000-L) elevated tank has approximately twice the cost per unit volume of a 500,000-gal (1.9-ML) elevated tank (Figure 5-4). For reservoirs and standpipes, an increase in capacity also lowers the cost per unit
Any other factors that affect the outcome (highly dependent on the situation). In our example, such factors contributing to the uncertainty could be the following: the smallest division on the ruler is 0.1 in., the person using the ruler has bad eyesight, or one side of the paper is slightly longer than the other.
Nowadays, one of the most significant problems in mining activities is the significance of analyzing environmental issues along with mining, concentration, and mineral processing operations to achieve the goals of sustainable development. Nevertheless, mine owners refuse to include environmental costs (EC) and consider …
