    Assignment 2
    Due date: 09.30 am Thursday 11th January 2024
    QUESTION:
    Table 1 below consists of data obtained from diamond drilling for a gold deposit. The company has set the
    cut off grade of 0.8% for estimating the total resource and the grade of the entire gold deposit. The holes
    drilled to 180m at the hole spacing of 25m and line spacing of 40m. The ore encountered has an in situ
    density of 1.3 g/cm3. Use this information together with table 1 below to answer the following questions:

    1. Construct the table of each drill hole to indicate the calculated average grade of each drill hole
    2. By referring the rectangular method, assign rectangles for every drill hole
    3. By considering the triangular method, assign triangles for every drill hole
    4. Calculate the total resources and the grade of the entire copper deposit by using
    a). Rectangular method
    b). Triangular method
    5. Compare and comment on the two results of part (a) and (b) obtained in question 4 above.
