Title Description

About this title

This volume covers a wide spectrum of activities in the field of mineral resource evaluation ranging from exploration models to exploration drilling and sampling, to ore reserves, to mine design, to financial evaluation, to mine sampling and grade control, and finally to reconciliation between estimated and mill recovered grades. The resources considered show a similarly large range and include precious and base metals, industrial minerals, coal, clay and aggregates. Deposits include examples from Australia, Chile, western USA, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and the UK.

In addition many chapters consider the application of geostatistics as well as discussing the inherent problems with the technique and the need to take more account of the local mine geology. Though many geologists have had their fingers burnt in the past by applying geostatistics without adequate understanding of the method, there is clearly a greater appreciation of its values and greater willingness to experiment further with the technique. Some of the case histories presented in this volume will be of value to those mine geologists who seek more practical guidance.

The book will be of interest to geologists in industry and academia especially those concerned with mining and mineral resources.
