A stockpile is built in 400 layers and a reclaimer cuts across all of them. If one layer is unusually high in silica, roughly what proportion of the reclaimed material does it contribute?

  • A.about one four-hundredth
  • B.about one quarter
  • C.about one half
  • D.all of it

Answer: A

Correct answer: about one four-hundredth

A reclaimer cutting across all the layers takes a slice of each with every pass, so any single layer contributes about \( 1/400 \) of the material reclaimed at any moment. That is the whole purpose of layered stockpiling: a variation that arrives over hours in the incoming stone is spread across the entire pile and reaches the mill diluted several hundredfold.
