Did you consider that Uranium has a density of 19.1 g per cubic cm? If a cubic meter of sandstone contains 11.55% Uranium it has considerably more weight than pure sandstone. Probably this is the difference.
Thanks for this GoldfingerU308!
HighROI has been privately intimating that the rock in core had a specific gravity of 4. Assuming semi-pelitic gneiss has a specific gravity of 2.6 and uranium with a specific gravity of 18.9. We can solve for the uranium grade (or x%) as follows:
- 18.9 x * 2.6 (1-x) = 4
- x - x^2 = 4 * 18.9 * 2.6
- x - x^2 = 75.6
- x - x^2 - 75.6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula
a = -1
b = 1
c = -75.6
The solution for x = 9.2%
Very close to the 9.6% over the 68.5m interval
Hopefully, I did that right. My math is very rusty.
