Beyond Kriging: the Role of Conditional Simulations in Resource Evaluation

Beyond Kriging: the Role of Conditional Simulations in Resource Evaluation

In recent years, conditional simulations have been gaining increasing importance in Mineral Resource evaluation and are being more frequently required in projects and operating mines, due to their multiple uses. However, their greater complexity means that they are not yet used across the board in the industry. In the following

Additive and Non-Additive Variables I: Definitions and Properties

When performing an estimation or simulation of a new variable, it is important to ask about its additive property, its linearity, and understand its definition. If the variable is not additive, this knowledge allows us to evaluate appropriate methodologies and techniques for estimating it — for example, by simplifying, referring to
