Cut Value

 

Cut value is a calculation that is made to provide a balanced or mean value of the ore body, as there
will never be a consistent g/t (grams per ton) throughout the extraction of ore body.

 

Production will rise and fall depending upon the concentration levels of gold throughout the ore body. 

 

This calculation can also be adapted for high grade, samples and assays.
