Optimising sampling protocols via the heterogeneity test: Challenges in coarse gold mineralisation

Determination of the sampling constant is an important step when applying the Fundamental Sampling Error equation to optimise sampling protocols. The classic method for its determination is based on the heterogeneity test (HT). In coarse gold-dominated mineralisation, the HT sometimes provides an ev...
