Structurally controlled on the bottom and grade controlled on the top. Tschudi is OP though, and this one will be U/G, but looks amenable to room and pillar. <br /><br />The core looks competent...some runs have no fractures at all. Core recovery should be high. And bornite makes good concentrate!<br /><br />Bill Mracekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406350978140431625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272793377504221569.post-37016871787452050882018-10-08T06:40:14.370-07:002018-10-08T06:40:14.370-07:00I don't think Ivanhoe have reduced the influen...I don't think Ivanhoe have reduced the influence of the low grade deliberately. In resource estimation this is very common. The higher number of high grade intercepts tend to swamp the much fewer number of lower grade intercepts. This happens with any numerical averaging estimation technique. One way of mitigating this is to restrict the search so less holes are used, this should give more influence to the low grade locally.
