Calculate theoretical fine gold first, then apply the recovery assumption. This distinction is useful when planning scrap processing, assay interpretation, concentrate treatment or refinery intake.
Theoretical gold content and expected recovered gold answer different questions. Theoretical content is a material characteristic; recoverable content is a process scenario.
Use different recovery assumptions to create conservative, base and optimistic scenarios. This is particularly useful where actual historical recovery varies from batch to batch.
Material weight multiplied by assay purity.
Theoretical contained gold after applying the assumed process recovery.
Yes.
