it makes perfect sense: grade found moderated by 10%. The gold tested was found with a grade XX for a volume V. In order to have a closer estimate (closer to exploitation realities, they have applied the following formula: V @ grade XX + 10/V @ grade 0 give V1 at grade XX-10%.I hope I am clear, anyway, the simplest way to translate would be:
mais le grade a été modéré par l'addition de 10% non-gradé
mais le grade a été modéré par l'addition de 10% non-gradé
