2020 Assignment Memo

This 3-sentence summary provides an overview of the key information from the mining geology tutorial letter: The tutorial letter contains important information about the Mining Geology III module, including instructions and examples for calculating true dip, strike, and thickness using map data. Dip, strike, and thickness are calculated using trigonometric functions like tangent and cosine applied to measured values on geological maps scaled to real-world distances. Students are provided practice problems applying these calculation methods to mapped geological features.

1. See map

2. Tan (dip)= VT/HT


=10/ [2cm x 15 (scale)]
=18⁰

ST= VT X COS α
VT= ST/ COS α
=19m / cos 18⁰
= 20m

3. See map
4. See map
5.
Tan (dip)= VT/HT
=10/ [2cm x 15 (scale)]
=18⁰
Dip direction = S 07 W

ST= VT X COS α
ST= 20 m cos 18⁰
=19m

6. D= 1160m – 1205m = - 45m (will not intersect)


E= 1140m – 1124m = 16 m
F= 1110m – 1088m = 22m
G = 1115m – 1114m = 01 m

7. Tan apparent dip = Tan true dip X Cos of the angle between their directions
Tan α = Tan 18⁰ x cos 150 ⁰
= -15.7⁰

8. (Measure)
HT=measure from any 2 strike lines of the same value (1160m lime low/ ss up and
1160m silt)
Measured value = 8.8 cm x 15(scale) = 132m

(Calculated)
VTtotal= VTsandstone + VTshale + VTsilt
= 20m + 15m + 10m = 45m

STT= VTT X COS α


= 45 m cos 18⁰
= 42.5

Thus
ST=HT x sin α
HTT= ST/sin α
=45 m / sin 18⁰
=138 m
