Advanced Resource Estimation and Simulation – Perth and Online

Taking your resource estimation knowledge to the next level

Course presenter: Oscar Rondon – Senior Geostatistician; Ian Glacken – Executive Consultant

This practical 3-day Advanced Resource Estimation and Simulation course shows you how and when to apply techniques such as co-kriging, multiple indicator kriging, conditional simulation and change of support. Each attendee will receive a FREE temporary Supervisor software license.

The course covers:

  • A refresher of kriging
  • Overview of kriging approaches: Ordinary, Simple, Indicator, Cokriging – when are they useful and applicable?
  • The dispersion variance and the change of support
  • How we predict the mining tonnage-grade curve from sample data – global change of support
  • How we predict the tonnage-grade curves of mining blocks from large block estimates
  • The differences between global and local changes of support
  • What is non-linear estimation and when is it useful?
  • What is a recoverable resource?
  • Recoverable resource techniques
  • How we assess grade risk in mining
  • Conditional simulation of single variables (univariate) and multiple variables
  • What is multivariate simulation and why is it useful?
  • Categorical simulation for rock

Explore essential topics in mining and mineral resource estimation through our comprehensive course. Learn how to optimize your grade and geological data effectively.

We begin with a thorough review of kriging equations, followed by an examination of various kriging methods and their practical applications. Discover the advantages of non-linear kriging approaches, including single and multiple indicator kriging.

Delve into the concept of dispersion variance and its implications for estimating recoverable resources. Gain insights into predicting tonnage and grade during mining operations using sample data (global change of support) or large block estimate (local change of support). Our course covers three primary recoverable resource techniques in detail: uniform conditioning, multiple indicator kriging, and conditional simulation.

Assess grade and geological risk through advanced simulation techniques. Explore popular methods such as sequential Gaussian simulation, sequential indicator simulation, turning bands, and more. We also delve into categorical simulation for modeling geological features and multivariate simulation techniques for analyzing multiple variables.

Benefit from hands-on activities using GSLIB-style software and Supervisor software with real-world datasets provided by Snowden Optiro. Enhance your understanding of key concepts and best practices throughout the course.

All attendees receive a free temporary Supervisor software licence.
