| Popis: | Mineral resources and ore reserves estimation, mine planning, measurement of mine and plant performance and the reconciliation of production results with original expectations are continuous processes during the operation of a mine. These activities involve members of several disciplines over an extended period. Although operating conditions, policies and personnel may change, estimating and reporting practices must be applied consistently to achieve accuracy in periodic evaluations and reconciliation.Operational practices are considered against the background of refinement of the definitions of 'resources' and 'reserves' in an effort by mining and regulatory institutions to achieve conformity. The examples relate to underground gold mining, but the principles are adaptable to other situations. Many elements of the systems described are in place at some operations, but may not be consistently used. At other mines systems may be modified on an ad-hoc basis, with the result that not everyone underst... |
