Chromite Tonnage Calculations

posted on Jul 30, 2008 01:11PM

Chromite has a specific gravity of 4.6 (4.6 times heavier than water). One cubic metre of water weighs one tonne. Therefore one cubic metre of chromite weighs 4.6 tonnes.

Using this type calculation is the simple way to calculate the tonnage (use your own dimensions).

If the zone is 125m on strike, 200m deep and 30m wide the tonnage at this time is 125 x 200 x 30 x 4.6 = 3,450,000 tonnes.

We need Rockaur to model the results and show us the zone from different directions to gain a better appreciation of the true width.

The average grade over today's 195.8m of core length (using widest sections) is 36.7% Cr2O3.

Believe this deposit has the potential to do to many of todays chromite mines, what the Saskatchewan uranium deposits did to the Elliot Lake uranium mines.
