Description

Mineral resource estimation has changed considerably in the past 25 years: geostatistical techniques have become commonplace and continue to evolve; computational horsepower has revolutionized all facets of numerical modeling; mining and processing operations are often larger; and uncertainty quantification is becoming standard practice. Recent books focus on historical methods or details of geostatistical theory. So there is a growing need to collect and synthesize the practice of modern mineral resource estimation into a book for undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and young geologists and engineers. It is especially�fruitful that this book is�written by authors with years of relevant experience performing mineral resource estimation and with years of relevant teaching experience. This comprehensive�textbook and reference fills this need.Typham this is the title: Mineral Resource Estimation
