Objective
This course offers a complete insight into how applied geostatistics can provide a rigorous approach to support resource estimation procedures from mining data analysis to resource classification. The training also delves into some of the most advanced geostatistical techniques, giving hints and pitfalls on how to use them. The course is organized in two modules. The second module includes an additional day for practicing on real data with Isatis (workshop format).
Key features
- The course offers an optimum blend of theoretical concepts and examples demonstrating the results of these methods using Isatis software.
- No Isatis manipulation of the software is required from the participants except for the final day (workshop).
Who should attend
The course is aimed at geologists, engineers and project managers who want to consolidate their know-how of Geostatistics beyond variograms and kriging.
Course content
- Module 1: Data Analysis and Block Kriging

- One day dedicated to a workshop on users data with Isatis
Prerequisites
A solid knowledge of linear geostatistics is a must.
