    An old copper waste dump was drilled at various coordinate points to determine copper assay values. 20 drill holes were completed, with copper assay results ranging from 0.102 to 1.265 g/ton. The document provides the coordinates and assay values for each of the 20 drill holes. The task is to use the triangle method to estimate the total copper content and value of the deposit.

    ORE RESERVE ESTIMATION: Triangle Method

    An old copper waste dump of Atlas Consolidated Mining was suspected to be rich in
    copper. It was divided into grid and the drilling results revealed the following:
