December 2017
Gradation:
The average and range of laboratory samples and oversize rock field estimates from the 2017
testing program at Brodie Pit are as follows:
Laboratory Samples
Classification:
Average (%) Range (%)
Gravel (4.75-75mm) 51.0 22.5-78.6
Sand (0.075-4.75mm) 46.8 20.4-72.9
Fines (<0.075mm) 2.2 0.8-7.5
Oversize Field Estimates
Classification:
Average (%) Range (%)
Boulders (>375mm) <1 0-1
Cobbles (150-375mm) 3 0-12
Cobbles (75-150mm) 6 1-18
The maximum rock size observed was 400 mm. The rock found in TP17-05 and TP17-06 was
not included in the averages/ranged noted above. These test holes contain small to medium sized
cobbles intermixed with some sands and gravels (see photo of TP17-05 on Page 9). These
locations have been excluded from the recommended suitability area on the Pit Development
Plan, however, the material is still accessible and available if needed.
