Glacier Gulch (Yorke-Hardy) -minimum grade required for economic Resource Estimate (Giroux, 2005) extraction -any rock grading less than cut-off not included in resource calculation = waste rock -reflects value of rock for commodity or commodities of interest -strongly influenced by mining cost e. g. higher cut-off for underground mine versus open pit -final cut-off grade can’t be determined until a detailed economic feasibility analysis is 0. 20% Mo.

Conclusions Glacier Gulch deposit is a moderate size, relatively high grade porphyry Mo-W deposit

Conclusions Glacier Gulch deposit is a moderate size, relatively high grade porphyry Mo-W deposit n the deposit does not come to the surface and will have to be mined by underground methods n current Mo commodity prices have renewed interest in porphyry Mo deposits n a detailed feasibility analysis is required to determine if Glacier Gulch has the potential to be an economically viable mine n D.
