Overview
Participants follow the estimation workflow end to end: validating drill hole data, building geological and block models, applying geostatistical estimation, and classifying resources and reserves under internationally recognised reporting codes.
Objectives
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Validate and prepare drill hole databases
- Build geological and block models
- Apply geostatistical estimation methods
- Classify and report resources and reserves
Who should attend
- Exploration and resource geologists
- Mining engineers
- Technical staff in mining companies and geological surveys
