If it nets a selling price of $0.60/lb ($1.32/kg) of zinc in the concentrate, what is the cutoff grade of the mine (in % zinc) if none of the variables change and recovery of zinc is 88%?

Explanation / Answer

In mineral resource industry , cutoff grade is the resource estimation of the mineral deposit.

If the grade is below the profit and it is present in the ore deposit this is known as mine cutoff grade.

Mineral deposit which is profitable to work is called ore deposit.

Ans: 3.4 Iron ore price/total production cost=82.68/24.61/tonne

3.3596/tonne cutoff grade of iron deposit

Ans:3.5 cutoff grade of zinc mine in %

production cost/current selling price 38.59/tonne/1.32/kg

=29

=1.31
