The process began with utilizing average weighted grade data from a table to determine the recovery rate and processing costs. These values were then applied in the cut-off grade calculation: Cut-Off Grade = Processing Cost / ((Net Price) * Recovery). The average weighted grade and net price were sourced directly from the table. Finally, Python was employed to create graphs illustrating the cut-off grade, recovery rate, and processing cost trends.
Cut-Off Grade = Processing Cost / ((Net Price) * Recovery)
Recovery = Rmax * (1 - e^(-k * G))
Processing Cost = a + b * G
Processing Cost Formulas
1. Fixed + Grade-Dependent Cost Model
processing cost = C0 + C1 / G
2. Regression from Real Cost Data (Realist)
Linear: C = a + b * G
Inverse or Logarithmic: C = a + b / G or C = a * log(G) + b
3. Tabulated Cost Based on Grade
Table equivalent for the given grade
Recovery Formulas
1. Empirical Linear Model
Recovery = a + b * G
2. Exponential or Logistic Model (Realist)
Recovery = Rmax * (1 - e^(-k * G))
3. Stepwise or Tabulated Recovery
