At final step, the optimum cut-off grades will be determined by interpolation of grade-tonnage distribution of deposit.
A critical task of any mining projects is to construct a three-dimensional block model mainly representing the tonnage and grade distribution of the mineralised deposit.
Several tests were performed by simulation to evaluate the control responses to different correlated series of input variables, such as feed grade, tonnage, particle size distribution, and solid percentage.

Mass balanced tonnage and particle size distributions were estimated by using JKSimMet Steady State Mineral Processing Simulator in both sampling campaigns.
But to sell tonnage, you still need a major distribution network.
Cutoff grade optimization with the goal of maximizing the net present value over the years of the mine's life, as well as the correlation with the distribution of the grade and tonnage of the remaining ore, requires a long calculation process, especially for large mines.
Additionally, total GHG emissions of distribution may be reduced by raising the tonnage limit, thereby triggering direct shipments between the manufacturer's facilities and the retailer locations, or by raising the tonnage limit, which triggers direct shipments in the logistics service provider network.
Truck tonnage jumped in June.
The Truck Tonnage Index falls.
Truck tonnage fell in May.
