Conditional simulation and volume uncertainty in Isatis.neo | Training course
Learn how to use Isatis.neo’s conditional simulation to assess the uncertainty in volume production scenarios.
Objectives
By attending this course, you will learn to:
- Assess the volumetric uncertainty through the signed distance.
- Identify areas of higher uncertainty and higher probability.
- Define geological orebody boundaries precisely.
- Assess the mine planning risks related to geological volume uncertainty
- Compare the range of volumes derived from simulations with the one from the geological model (wireframe).
Outlines
- Half of the course is devoted to methodological presentations, the second half to practical exercises to deepen the understanding of concepts. Focus is on illustrations and practical contribution of the covered concepts.
- Computer exercises with Isatis.neo Mining Edition.
- Course material and temporary software license provided.
Who should attend
Professionals who want to improve their skills in Isatis.neo and gain confidence to solve mining problems using conditional simulations.
Course content
1| THE CONCEPT OF VOLUME UNCERTAINTY
- What is volumetric uncertainty, and when should it be assessed?
- What is signed distance?
2| HANDS-ON SIMULATION IN ISATIS.NEO
- Conditional simulation: a review of the fundamental aspects.
- Data pre-processing, including Gaussian transformation and declustering.
- Variographical analysis in the Gaussian space.
- Running Turning Bands Simulations
Simulation validation. - Post-processing and result interpretation: mean, variance, quantiles, and above-cutoff probabilities, 90% confidence interval, upscaling into production periods, volume risk assessment for mine planning.
Prerequisites
It is recommended that participants already have geostatistical knowledge.
Training – Registration policy
Qualiopi label, a guarantee of the quality of our training
Our training courses are Qualiopi certified. That means that they comply with a unique French national quality reference system. This recognition guarantees the quality of the training courses we deliver and allows our trainees to be eligible for various French funding.
Registration Fee
Class fees include one set of course materials and one full Isatis license valid for one month.
Attendees are invited to use their own laptop for computer exercises. A temporary demo version of the software package(s) used for this purpose (i.e. Isatis, Isatis.neo or Kartotrak) will be freely supplied by Geovariances.
For courses to be held in Geovariances only, if you are unable to bring your own laptop during the training session, be sure to inform your sales contact and Geovariances will endeavour to provide you with a computer for the session duration.
Please note that admission will be only confirmed on receipt of your formal purchase order and after full payment.
