V95 (Vertical 95)

V95, or Vertical 95, is a statistical measure used in fields like geology and mining to indicate the depth at which 95% of a target material, such as a mineral resource, has been extracted or is accessible below a specific point. In essence, it shows how deep you need to go to recover almost all of the valuable material within a vertical segment. It helps professionals assess the mineral deposit's size and ease of access, guiding decisions on mining methods and economic feasibility. V95 provides a standardized way to understand the vertical extent of resource recovery in exploration and development projects.
