## Description

This MCP server provides tools to analyze mineral resource models by calculating the relationship between cut-off grades and resulting ore quantities. It allows for the generation of full grade-tonnage curves, calculation of tonnage, average grade, and contained metal, and the application of physical mining constraints like minimum mining width and maximum dilution. Use `validate_resource_model` to ensure model integrity before running `get_curve_data` or `get_tonnage_stats`.

## Tools

### get_constrained_tonnage
Determines the maximum ore tonnage extractable given specific physical mining constraints

### get_curve_data
Generates a set of data points to plot a full Grade-Tonnage curve

### get_tonnage_stats
Calculates the fundamental relationship between a specific cut-off grade and the resulting resource quantities

### validate_resource_model
Verifies the integrity and completeness of a resource model before attempting curve generation

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the tonnage and average grade for resource model RM-101 at a 0.5 cut-off grade?
```

**Response:** 
```
For resource model RM-101 at a 0.5 cut-off grade, the total tonnage is 1,250,000 tonnes with an average grade of 0.65%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a grade-tonnage curve for model M-500 using these cut-off grades: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The curve data for model M-500 is: 0.1 cut-off: 5,000,000t @ 0.15%; 0.2 cut-off: 4,200,000t @ 0.22%; 0.3 cut-off: 3,100,000t @ 0.31%; 0.4 cut-off: 2,050,000t @ 0.42%; 0.5 cut-off: 1,100,000t @ 0.55%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the constrained tonnage for RM-202 with a 0.4 cut-off and a minimum mining width of 5 meters.
```

**Response:** 
```
Applying a minimum mining width of 5 meters to RM-202 at a 0.4 cut-off results in 850,000 tonnes of ore with an average grade of 0.48%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my resource model is ready for analysis?**
You can use the `validate_resource_model` tool to verify the integrity and completeness of your resource model before performing calculations.

**Can I account for mining dilution in my calculations?**
Yes, the `get_constrained_tonnage` tool allows you to specify a `maxDilution` parameter to account for waste mixed with ore.

**How do I generate a full curve of data points?**
Use the `get_curve_data` tool by providing a list of cut-off grades in the `gradeSteps` parameter.
