This paper addresses the problem of simulating the copper grade and rock type in a Chilean
porphyry copper deposit recognized by a set of exploration drill holes. The application of …

Identification and categorization of geological, geotechnical, or geometallurgical domains is
a common practice in the modeling of mineral deposits, in order to account for the controls …

This book covers the main mining issues where geostatistics, a discipline founded in the
1960s to study regionalized variables measured at a limited number of points in space, is …

Stratigraphic transitions within the tunnel envelope cause a rapid change in tunnel boring
machine (TBM) operating parameters and impose a significant challenge to TBM tunnel …

Tunneling in karstic geology confronts numerous challenges due to unpredictable
occurrence of voids. The current approach of karstic void risk assessment is qualitative or …

Delineation of facies in the subsurface and quantification of uncertainty in their boundaries
are significant steps in mineral resource evaluation and reservoir modeling, which impact …

Accurate discrete fracture network modeling is a significant requirement for fluid flow
simulation in various applications such as managing groundwater resources, simulating oil …

A continuous spectral algorithm and computer routines in the R programming environment
that enable the simulation of second-order stationary and intrinsic (ie, with second-order …

To properly evaluate the quantity of mineral resources in a deposit, modeling the rock units
of the deposit is essential since it informs the deposit's mineralization controls. The …
