Abstract:The fundamental sampling error is one of the sampling errors defined by Pierre Gy’s Theory of Sampling and is related to the constitution heterogeneity of the mineralisation. Even if a sampling procedure is considered ideal or perfect, this error will still exist and, therefore, cannot be eliminated. A key input into Gy’s fundamental sampling error equation is intrinsic heterogeneity. The intrinsic heterogeneity of a fragmented lot can be estimated by the “calibrated” formula of Gy, which can be written as a f… Show more
