Abstract Well-defined analytical interrelations exist between the geostatistical estimation variance performing an expression of degree of geological exploration and the task-oriented entropy as a concept of information theory. The example of normal distribution shows that this relationship can be expressed in mathematical terms. An extensive practical use could consist in the improvement of exploration optimization on the common basis of continuous geological parameters as is demonstrated by means of an example.
