Narrow Vein and Reef Mining Conference 2011
| Date | 22 November 2011 |
| - | 23 November 2011 |
It is easier to mine and evaluate bulk large deposits than narrow veins or reefs largely due to economies of scale.
There are however many narrow vein/reef deposits that can potentially be mined economically through concentrating on quality rather than quantity.
