Abstract
Over time, limestone quarries have developed means and methods to plan mining operations in order to meet material quality requirements and at the same time maximize quarry life. These methods employ the use of analytical information obtained from sampled materials from both pre-quarry investigatory drill surveys and production drilling. This paper reviews a new technique for obtaining elemental analysis results from production drill cuttings.
