About the Panel: Mineral Resource Estimation Through Geostatistics Methods
Why do we still not agree on things that have been studied (and often ‘solved’!) for decades? Why, even at the highest levels of practice, do we still debate what is best practice?
Myths! Let’s tackle them, one by one, in a fun and interactive panel session with specialists on stage and in the crowd to debunk your favourite myth. For some, these may sound amateurishly simple and boring, but for many, the extensive noise that is ‘the internet’ has made finding the answers difficult.
Are you a big blocker or small blocker? Do you think the Kriging Oxymoron is a band from the 80s or an actual debate that doesn’t want to die? Do you want to know whether your model’s blocks size should be set based on your ‘KNA analysis’? Is 9 search passes better than 11? Should you match that search range to the variogram range? Is it really a catastrophe if I never care about the correlation that seems to be so evident between these variables of interest? Why is the Reasonable Prospects principle so difficult to understand? And do we feed our children 25m or 0.1m composites?
We take questions from the floor, and tackle the most up-voted questions for our panel to respond to. Submit anonymously if you want to prevent tar and feathers! Have our expert panel clear up some of the mist that surrounds these and give clear answers to what is….best practice
About the Event:
AusIMM’s Mineral Resource Estimation Conference 2025 is expected to bring together 500+ geologists, geostatisticians, software solution providers and other resources professionals, from across the globe, to challenge the status quo of mineral resource estimation and share leading best practice examples.
The conference aims to showcase leading best practice, case studies and research on mineral resource estimation and the software applications required. Facilitating open exchange of information, boasting interactive sessions, panel discussions and keynote presentations alongside case studies and peer-reviewed papers.
Sessions topics will showcase the latest advancements and leading examples in: QA/QC and sampling, 3D geological and estimation domain modelling, geostatistical analysis, estimation, validation and risk analysis, and reporting.
