Grade and tonnage model of Dunitic Ni-Cu

GRADE AND TONNAGE MODEL OF DUNITIC Ni-Cu

By Donald A. Singer and Norman J Page

COMMENTS Nickel grade is correlated with tonnage (r = -0.54) and copper grade (r = 0.84, n = l2). Ir, Pd, Au, and Co grades are based on reported analyses of samples from the deposits. See fig. 11-14.
