Abstract

The procedure for making a geostatistical ore reserve estimation can be divided into two parts. The first is the investigation and modelling of the physical and statistical structure of the orebody for which the estimation is being made. Concepts of continuity and structure in the deposit are embodied in semivariograms that are constructed during this first step. The second stage of the procedure is the estimation process itself - kriging - which depends entirely on the semivariograms.
