Block Modelling and Resource Estimation Basics

🗺 Course Title: Block Modelling and Resource Estimation Basics

🚀 Headline: Master the Fundamentals of Block Modelling with Our Comprehensive Course!

Embark on a journey into the world of mining geology with our Block Modelling and Resource Estimation Basics course—your gateway to understanding the critical process of ore body estimation. This online course, designed for budding resource geologists, geoscientists, and mining engineers, will provide you with the essential skills necessary to create accurate block models and perform reliable resource estimations. 🌍

Course Overview:

• Understanding the Block Model: Dive into the fundamentals of block modeling, a key component in mining engineering for resource estimation and reporting. Learn how geostatistics and drilling data are used to construct a block model that represents the mineralized orebody. 🛠️

What You'll Learn:

• Geological Database Creation: Master the art of converting raw drillhole data into a comprehensive geological database. Discover how to visualize this data in 3D and create custom legends that bring the data to life.

• Drillhole Compositing: Gain an understanding of drillhole compositing basics, which are crucial for interpreting the mineralization within the orebody.

• Setting Up a Block Model: Learn how to establish a blank block model and set it up for estimation, ensuring you have a solid foundation for your resource estimation process.

• Interpolation Techniques: While we focus on the basics, you'll learn about inverse distance estimation (IDEST), a classical interpolation method, to estimate resources in an easy-to-understand manner.

• Volume and Tonnage Estimation: Explore methods for categorizing and reporting volumes and tonnages for resources, providing a clear picture of the ore body's potential.
