Mate...not sure what planet one of us is one, but they're not the same.

You say:

"Folks what CB has taken issue with is when you dig up rock the sq cubic metres per tonne changes as your process the rock, at the first stage of processing the rock takes up lots of space per cubic meters, as you crush it it becomes more dense and takes up less space,"

I am saying exactly the OPPOSITE!

One cubic meter of un-dug rock is MORE DENSE, and takes up LESS space.

AS you crush it, it becomes LESS dense and takes up MORE space.

Your original point was that the un-dug cubic meter weighed ONE TONNE. And you then used this to say how many cubic meters they had to dig up.

It does not matter how much LESS dense it becomes as you turn it to slurry...it's been dug. Yes, as it is processed it probably comes DOWN to a density of 1.7-1.8 t/m3

Besides that a cubic meter is a cubic meter it cannot take up more and it cannot take up less space. It is what it is!
However what is IN that cubic meter (m3) can weigh anything. Depends what is IN it.

Air? 1200 grams

Water? 1 tonne

Washed gravel? 1.6-1.8 tonne

Hard Rock? 2.8 tonne or less

Lead? 11.389 tonnes

and so on..

btw if people want to find me I don't hide either

Cheers
