Preliminary Feasibility Study Based on Resistivity Volumetric Calculation : Andesite Quarry

Abstract

Summary This paper will discuss the preliminary examination of andesite quarry mining feasibility in due respect of the volumetric reserves and its overburden thickness. The volumetric reserves were done by calculating the andesite tonnage that utilizes the volume-based resistivity characteristics and density. In addition, overburden thickness was estimated between the top andesite and the topography elevation. The study concluded that the amount of andesite reserves are viable enough to be further detailed mining study.
