The Break-Even Grade. The cut-off grade that is used by most mining companies for the "process" / "do not process" decision, rightly or wrongly, is the break-even cut-off grade. The break-even grade is defined as the grade at which revenue obtained is equal to the cost of producing that revenue.

Large quantities of low-grade ores are produced during the separation of higher-grade ores and are generally discarded in waste heaps. Metals from such ores cannot economically be processed with chemical methods. There are large quantities of such low-grade ores especially copper ores, which can be processed profitably by bio-leaching.

The results would show extremely rich ore, with perhaps hundreds of ounces of silver and many ounces of gold per ton. In selling his claim, the miner would use the assay as if that reflected the average grade of all the rock the mine produced, even though there might not be even half a pound of that type of rock in 100 tons of ore.

Epithermal gold ( CuAg) deposits form at shallower crustal levels than porphyry Cu-Au systems, and are primarily distinguished as low and high sulphidation using criteria of varying gangue and ore mineralogy, deposited by the interaction of different ore fluids with host rocks and groundwaters. Low sulphidation deposits are in turn further

The key conclusions from geological studies are that the gold postdates the gneissic banding and the metamorphic thermal maximum event. Highgrade mineralisation (3g/t Au) lenses - occur within the broader low-grade gold envelopes (0.3g/t Au). The higher grade mineralisation is associated with more closely spaced veins and sericite alteration.
