Predicting and correcting grade-recovery curves
The upgrade- or enrichment ratio is the ratio of the concentrate grade to the feed grade (e.g. Burgess, 1997, Beneventi et al., 2003). This is intuitively an attractive way of describing flotation performance, as it quantifies the purpose; to produce a concentrate that has a higher grade than that of the feed.

The Ore Grade and Depth Influence on Copper Energy Inputs
This warrants the first conclusion: Statistically Eq. ( 4) is the best model for mines with milling/flotation. On the basis of this, an ore grade of 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3% at 300 m of depth results in an energy cost of 60, 127 and 447 MJ/kg for underground mines, and 52, 95 and 255 MJ/kg for surface mines, respectively.

COPPER: Anything over 100 metres and 1% copper equivalent or better is considered to be high-grade. For example, Serengeti Resources announced 119.6 metres of 0.9% copper equivalent (copper plus gold values added together) at depths from 180 to 300 metres. The stock then increased from $0.30 to $1.50 after those drilling results were reported.

For the sulphide circuit, to achieve a target grade of 24% total copper the concentrate has to contain 70% chalcopyrite by mass as chalcopyrite has a relatively low copper content (34.8%). On the other hand, chalcocite has a copper content of approximately 80%, so for the mixed and oxide concentrates it is possible to achieve grades of over 40%.
