Optimum Dig Lines for Open Pit Grade ControlBy I Treloar, T Elenbaas, E Isaaks
Critical reviews of grade control generally focus on blasthole sampling and the estimation of ore control block model (OCM) grades, with little or no attention given to dig-line design. For example, t

Real-time fluorine mineral sensor – taking research to prototypeBy J Moffatt, T Payten, N Spooner, L Teixeira, L A. Balzan, G Wilkie, G Tsiminis
Fluorine is a penalty element due to its reactive nature. In acidic environments many fluorine minerals dissolve to form hydrofluoric acid (HF), changing processing conditions. When smelted HF can be
