Objective

This course is an introductory mining geostatistics course with advanced topics. It is is ideal for newcomers to geostatistics or for someone wanting a refresher. It covers in detail variography and kriging (univariate and multivariate) and recoverable resource estimation (Simulation, Uniform Conditioning and indicator approaches).

Key features

• Fundamental geostatistical concepts
• Demonstrations and examples using Isatis
• Plenty of hands-on exercises with Isatis to reinforce and explore concepts.

Who should attend

This course is aimed at geologists, engineers and people who want to learn mining geostatistics fundamentals, seeking a sound theoretical and practical knowledge of the discipline.

Course content

• An introduction to mining geostatistics: what is geostatistics and why use it?
• The framework for geostatistics
• Geostatistical concepts
• The limitations of classical statistics
• Spatial data analysis: experimental variograms, clouds, maps
• Variogram models
• The theory and properties of kriging
• Kriging in practice
• Multivariate geostatistics
• In situ resource estimation
• Global and local recoverable resource estimation
• Conditional Simulation
• Mini-project: Using geostatistical techniques in an exploration, evaluation or production study.

Prerequisites

None. This course is an ideal introduction to mining geostatistics and is complemented by our Isatis Optimum course.
