Description:
The sampling and estimation of the metal present in an ore dump
or a tailings heap are matters which are of considerable importance
to most men connected with the mining industry, as they are often
called upon to handle this class of work, either tor themselves or for
others.
There are several important points which can be settled concerning
the material in an ore dump or tailings heap before any work is
started in the shipping or in the treatment of the material, and most
of these points can be decided from the results obtained from the
analyses, the testing of the samples or the reports from the smelters
on the samples. 20 p.
