A practical introduction to statistical and spatial analysis in mining

Our Introduction to Geostatistics course provides a clear and practical foundation in the concepts, methods and tools used in statistical analysis, spatial analysis, and variography. Designed for the mining industry, the course shows how geostatistics fits into real mining workflows and why it is essential for informed decision-making.

What the course covers

Participants learn through hands-on activities and real examples, covering topics such as:

• How geostatistics fits into the mining value chain
  Understand the role of geostatistics from exploration through to production.

• Assumptions, data integrity and geological understanding
  Learn why high-quality data and sound geological interpretation are crucial for reliable outcomes.

• Tools and techniques for statistical data analysis
  Build practical skills in analysing and interpreting geological datasets.

• Introduction to variography and spatial continuity
  Explore how spatial relationships are described and how variograms support resource estimation.

• Statistical inputs to estimation
  See how statistical and spatial analysis contribute directly to resource estimation processes.

Who this geostatistics course is for

This course is ideal for:

• Geologists

• Mining engineers

• Project managers

• Mine managers

• Anyone new to geostatistics or wanting to understand its role in mining

It is also a valuable refresher for experienced professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of resource estimation fundamentals.

Why this course matters

Geostatistics is a core component of the mine value chain. It bridges the gap between basic statistical concepts and the practical requirements of resource estimation, which provides the quantitative assessment of a mining company’s key assets. By understanding the principles of geostatistics, participants gain confidence in interpreting data, assessing uncertainty and contributing to more reliable geological and mining decisions.
