Ore heterogeneity case study and optimisation of sampling protocols for the Central Jordan Uranium project

Abstract

The Central Jordan Uranium project has made use of modern technology in all aspects of the conceptual studies undertaken on this mineralisation to date. Sampling was part of that effort, with special focus on sample preparation and ore heterogeneity. The practical applications of sampling theory and its experimental implementation in the project are described in this paper, including discussion of the main steps required and the benefits of using this approach to the project.
