The stripping ratio of a quarry expresses

  • A.the overburden that must be removed for each unit of useful stone
  • B.the proportion of limestone that is present in the finished raw mix
  • C.the fraction of the whole deposit lost as dust during crushing
  • D.the ratio of daily quarry output to the kiln's consumption

Answer: A

Correct answer: the overburden that must be removed for each unit of useful stone

The stripping ratio is waste over product, and it governs the economics of the deposit directly: every tonne of soil and barren rock moved must be paid for and gives nothing in return. A deposit of excellent chemistry under deep overburden can be worth less than a poorer one lying at the surface.
