Grade after barren dilution
Estimate grade after adding a stated mass of zero-grade dilution material to a sample.
Method and scope
Diluted grade = contained material mass ÷ (ore mass + barren dilution mass).
Use grade after barren dilution for educational calculation or a clearly scoped arithmetic estimate. Intended for Learners, General educational use.
Inputs- Ore mass before dilution — kg, t
- Ore grade — 1
- Barren dilution mass — kg, t
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: Dilution material contains zero of the measured valuable component. Masses are on the same moisture and assay basis.
Limitations: Actual waste may contain some valuable material and mass accounting can require moisture correction.
