CLASSIFICATION OF MINERAL DEPOSITS BASING ON DEPTH, INCLINATION, REGULARITY, GEOMETRY

Based on regularity /thickess (in mtrs)

a.       Thin                 < 1.5m

b.      Moderate between   1.5m to 4.5 m

c.       Thick                     4.5m to 9m

d.      Very thick           > 9m

Based on depth (in mtrs)

a.       Shallow                                                <200m

b.       Moderate                                             200m to 450m

c.        Deep                                                      >450

Based on inclination (in degrees)

a.       Flat                                                        <5

b.       Inclined                                                               5 to 18

c.        Steep                                                     18 to 40

d.       Very steep                                           >40
