Question

The question is that points the gold deposit with highest total contained gold. I want to verify if it would be the Hollinger-McIntyre or Golden Mile. The canvas below shows the Grade vs Tonnage figure you enountered in Section 4 of Lesson 25 for major gold deposits of Canada and the world. The purpose of this exercise is to get you even more familiar with these types of grade-tonnage plots, which are often constructed using a logarithmic scale. This activity is fairly straight forward: add symbols to this figure representing the grade and tonnage of the following 4 hypothetical deposits Points to Plot on Grade-Tonnage Diagram Label GradeTonnage A gt B gt c 10 gt D 0.1 kgt 100,000 t 1 Mt 10,000,000 tonnes 100 Mt

Explanation / Answer

it would be GOlden mile

Because,
THe graph is of the form,

Log(Tonnage) + Log(Grade) = Log (Gold)
Hence the more you more perpendicular to the parallel lines away from the origin, the ogld increases
and the amount of gold is same for points on same lin.
clearly "Golden mile" is the farhtest in this case.
