Orebody geometry in lode gold deposits from Zimbabwe: implications …

Measurements made from sections, such as strike length, strike orientation (e.g. from level plans), or down-dip length and dip amount (e.g. from vertical cross-sections) will be arbitrary sections through an orebody (see below), and therefore have little significance for characterising its true geometry.

Evaluating the Influence of Underground Mining Sequence

The orebody strike length is about 200 m towards 25° NE and dipping at 7° on average. The total depth along the dip to be excavated is around 100 m and the mining region is segmented into 3 levels separated by sill pillars. Every level consists of stopes measure of 10 m in height and 20 m in length. In each level, the primary stopes …

Tigers Realm Coal recently completed 6000 metres of drilling at Project F, extending the orebody strike length from three kilometres to 11.6 kilometres, Hartleys said.

Large Loop Turam Electromagrietic Survey of the Woodlawn Orebody

At Woodlawn the leading edge of both loops used in this survey was approximately 150m from the nearest edge of the orebody and the length of the loop was somewhat longer than the strike length of the orebody which is approximately 300m.
