    The lognormal approach to predicting local distributions of selective mining unit grades (1980)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract When planning highly selective mining operations, the challenge is to estimate mineable ore reserves that will be selected at the mining stage. From exploration data it is not possible to estimate accurately the grade (or thickness) of each future selective mining unit; however, it is possible to estimate the local distributions of these mining unit grades within large panels suitable for long-range mine planning. Application of a cut-off then allows estimation of the recovered ore tonnage and grade within each such panel. Derivation of local conditional distributions is rather simple when the grade is either normally or lognormally distributed. The geologically important lognormal case is fully described both in the stationary and the nonstationary case. Cross validations of these techniques using the exploration data of the Imouraren uranium deposit are presented.

    Disjunctive kriging: Comparison of theory with actual results (1980)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 12 (1980), S. 305-320

    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: disjunctive kriging ; logarithmic kriging ; gold evaluation ; geostatistics

    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The method of disjunctive kriging is applied to the evaluation of blocks of ore in a gold mine, and the estimated block values are compared with the true block values. First the theory of disjunctive kriging as applicable to mine valuation is presented from the user's viewpoint. The theory is then applied to process sample values originating from a large gold mine. Using the computer simulation of a number of sampling programs, estimated values and true values are compared. The disjunctive kriging estimates are also compared with estimates obtained by other methods of evaluation, including logarithmic kriging. It is shown that the results obtained, using real world data, are in complete agreement with the results expected according to the geostatistical theory.

    Statistical and geostatistical methods applied to the exploration work of the Nanisivik Zn-Pb mine, Baffin Island, Canada (1980)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The Nanisivik Pb-Zn deposit at Strathcona Sound, northern Baffin Island, Canada, is an orebody that is an S-shaped lens 3000 m long, 75 m wide, and 2–20 m thick. It is an epigenetic karst channel filling. Total reserves are 6.9 million short tons of 14.12% Zn, 1.4% Pb, and 1.77 oz of Ag per ton. The mine was brought into production in 1976 at a rate of 2000 short tons per day. In the preproduction phase variogram studies based only on surface holes indicated a random distribution. For the evaluation of grades and for the determination of the confidence limits, classic statistical procedures were applied. Since the drilling density was different in different ore zones, a model was developed to test the effect of different drill hole spacings on the uncertainties in the present value in a discounted cash flow model. After the initial development and mining stage, structures could be recognized in semivariograms. Studies for a best drilling grid showed that the pattern of 25 ×20 m used in the mine could be extended to 35 ×35 m, taking into account that eight stopes are mined simultaneously. For ore reserve calculations weighing factors were calculated by kriging for six universally applicable geometric situations. Only the drill holes within a block and immediately surrounding it were taken into account. A test in a well-known zone yielded satisfactory results. A test to predict highs and lows of the grade accurately enough to optimally place the pillars failed.

    Notes: Abstract Geostatistical calculations were carried out on two completely exhausted open-pit bauxite mines in the Iharkut bauxite district, Hungary. Fictitious regular drilling grids were laid on the maps, and horizontal variograms were calculated for drilling grids evaluating the bauxite surface, footwall surface, and bauxite thickness. Point kriging was carried out for all three parameters. Bauxite reserves were calculated using block kriging for bauxite thickness. The total estimation variance of the reserves has been established. Results were compared with real reserves obtained from the mine maps.

    Conditional estimation variances: An empirical approach (1984)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 16 (1984), S. 327-350 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: geostatistics ; estimation variance ; recoverable reserves
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract One of the tasks routinely carried out by geostatisticians is the evaluation of global mining reserves corresponding to a given cutoff grade and size of selective mining units. A long with these recovery figures, the geostatistician generally provides an assessment of the global estimation variance, which represents the precision of the overall average grade estimate, when no cutoff is applied. Such a global estimation variance is of limited interest for evaluating mining projects; what is required is the reliability of the estimate of recovered reserves or, in other words, the conditional estimation variance. Unfortunately, classical linear geostatistical methods fail to provide an easy way to estimate this variance. Through the use of simulated deposits (representing various types of regionalization)the present paper reviews and discusses the effects of changes in cutoff grade and selective mining unit size on the conditional estimation variance. It is shown that, when the cutoff grade is applied to a pointsupport (sample-size)distribution, the conditional estimation variance appears to be readily accessible by classical formulas, once the conditional semivariogram is known. However, the evaluation of the conditional estimation variance seems to be less straightforward for the general case when a cutoff is applied to the average grade distribution of selective mining units. Empirical approximation formulas for the conditional estimation variance are tentatively proposed, and their performance in the case of the simulated deposits is shown. The limitations of these approximations are discussed, and possible ways of formalizing the problem suggested.

    Cokriging of aquifer transmissivities from field measurements of transmissivity and specific capacity (1984)

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents a new application of the cokriging technique for constructing maps of aquifer transmissivity from field measurements of transmissivity and specific capacity. The technique is illustrated using data from Yolo Basin, California. Cokriging is well-suited for estimating undersampled variables. To improve the accuracy of the estimation, cokriging considers the spatial auto-correlation of the variable to be estimated and the spatial cross-correlation between the variable to be estimated and other, better-sampled variables. Consequently, in regions that lack data of the variable to be estimated, accurate estimation can still be made on the basis of auto- and cross-correlation. In addition, estimation variances can be obtained with a little additional computation effort.

    Exact formulas for approximating variogram function integrals (1980)

    Notes: Abstract The application of regionalized variables requires the estimation of the variogram function and the evaluation of its integral. By representing the variogram by a polygonal function the integral may be easily approximated by closed form representations of polygonal integrals. This approach provides a basis for more extensive statistical evaluation not evident in existing approximation methods. This paper provides the closed form representations for two-dimensional variogram functions whose domain is represented by a finite collection of rectangles.

    Kriging in a global neighborhood (1984)
    Springer

    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: kriging ; moving neighborhood ; global neighborhood ; geostatistics ; automatic contouring
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The kriging estimator is usually computed in a moving neighborhood; only the data near the point to be estimated are used. This moving neighborhood approach creates discontinuities in mapping applications. An alternative approach is presented here, whereby all points are estimated using all the available data. To solve the resulting large linear system the kriging estimator is expressed in terms of the inverse of the covariance matrix. The covariance matrix has the advantage of being positive definite and the size of system which can be solved without encountering numerical instability is substantially increased. Because the kriging matrix does not change, the estimator can be written in terms of scalar products, thus avoiding the more time-consuming matrix multiplications of the standard approach. In the particular case of a covariance which is zero for distances greater than a fixed value (the range), the resulting banded structure of the covariance matrix is shown to lead to substantial computational savings in both run time and storage space. In this case the calculation time for the kriging variance is also substantially reduced. The present method is extended to the nonstationary case.
