Abstract
This paper discusses the determination of cutoff grade
(COG), including all revenue and cost factors and how
to apply the COG in the world of engineering studies
and mine planning for underground mines. It provides
the engineer with important considerations and practical
methods to establish COG and methods of using the COG
in the work of mine planning, including the application of
Mineable Stope Optimizer (MSO) software which is available
on several 3D mine planning packages.
