Calculation method
Calculation method
Undiluted ore mass (tonnes)
Volume×density.
Contained material (tonnes)
Ore mass×grade/100.
Diluted total mass (tonnes)
Ore mass×(1+dilution/100).
Diluted grade (%)
Original grade/(1+dilution/100), zero-grade dilution assumption.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Block volumes, supplied density-grade, dilution assumptions. Returns Illustrative tonnage and contained material. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Block volume (m³): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Density (tonnes/m³): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Grade (%): minimum 0, maximum 100. Added zero-grade dilution relative to ore mass (%): minimum 0, maximum 1000.
