During a field exploration program, rock was cored for a length of 4.5 m and the length of the rock core recovered was 2.5 m. All the rock pieces recovered having a length of 101.6 mm or more had a combined length of 2.1 m. Determine the recovery ratio and the rock quality designation. Use Table 17.9 to comment on the quality of the rock.
