Ore Reserve Estimation


Description

Conventional and geostatistical methods for construction of orebody models. Contouring techniques for mapping bounding surfaces of stratigraphic layers. Coordinate transforms and geometric techniques. Estimation and simulation methods for characterizing ore grade variability. Ore reserve classification, uncertainty assessment, mine selectivity, and grade control.

Learning Outcomes

Assess the quality of data to be used in resource and reserve estimation
Infer statistical parameters required for prediction
Predict grades at unknown locations within a mineral deposit
Calculate the uncertainty in resources at a relevant production scale
Formulate a resource classification scheme for public disclosure
