1) General Shape/width
Equi-dimensional all dimensions are on the same order of magnitude
Platy-tabular two dimensions are many times the thickness, which does not usuall
Irregular dimensions vary over short distances

2) Ore thickness
very narrow <3m
narrow 3 - 10 m
intermediate 10 - 30 m
thick 30 - 100 m
very thick > 100 m

3) Plunge
flat < 20 degrees
intermediate 20 - 55 degrees
steep > 55 degrees

4) Depth below surface

Shallow 0 -100 m
Intermediate 100 - 600 m
Deep > 600 m

5) Grade distribution
Uniform - the grade at any point in the deposit does not vary significantly from the mean grade for that dep
Gradational - grade values have zonal characteristics, and the grades change gradually from one to anoth
Erratic - grade values change radically over short distances and do not exhibit any discernible pattern in t

6) rock mass ratings

Very weak 0 - 20
Weak 20 - 40
Moderate 40 - 60
Strong 60 - 80
Very strong 80 - 100

7) Rock substance strength

(uniaxial strenght/principal stress)
Very weak <5
Weak 5 - 10
Moderate 10 - 15
