In this dynamic and challenging time for the mining industry, SRK Consulting’s mineral resource consultants continue to stay up to date.
Learn MoreImplicit Software Modelling technologies are designed to improve 3D geological modelling for exploration and resource definition.
Learn MoreDespite the intention to include geological controls during the wireframing phase of the mineral resource estimation process, modelling methodology is sometimes reduced to connecting grade data along trends judged to be geologically valid.
Learn MoreTypically, conversions from mineral resources to mineral reserves are handled by mining engineers, rather than geologists.
Learn MoreHistorically the modelling of narrow vein deposits has relied on classical two dimensional methods to estimate tonnage, grade and thickness in narrow vein deposits.
Learn MoreResource Geologists are geologists who can value the basic underlying economic attractiveness of a mineral deposit.
Learn MoreKvanefjeld is the flagship orebody of Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd’s (GMEL) Northern Ilimaussaq project.
Learn MoreHigh grade drill intersects are often a welcome occurrence for a mining company, its shareholders and/or potential investors.
Learn MoreMineral resources are reported in tonnage and grades.
Learn MoreGrade domains are often considered, following the modelling of geologic domains, to further control the distribution of grades during resource estimation.
Learn MoreLinear Estimators, such as Ordinary Kriging, can produce smoothed assessments in the results of your resource estimation.
Learn MoreMost recent developments in resource estimation have taken place in the following fields:
Learn MoreA fundamental concept of geostatistics that is often overlooked or misunderstood in resource estimation during the early project stage is the relationship between the global grade tonnage curve and the quality of the local block by block estimate.
Learn MoreAfter discovering a mineral deposit, delineating the drilling, and developing a geological framework, the next step is usually estimating metal content by quantifying the grade and tonnage of the mineral occurrence.
Learn MoreGenerally speaking, grade interpolation can be validated by VMS (visual assessment, mean assessment, swath plot validation) and block variance validation.
Learn MoreIn early 2015, India introduced a set of new mining rules, using the terminologies defined in the UNFC 1997 guideline and the CRIRSCO Template.
Learn MoreAt some point during your professional career as a Resource Geologist, you can expect that the Mineral Resource estimates (MRE’s) you have produced in accordance with international reporting codes will be subject to a technical audit by an external organisation, most likely by a Competent/Qualified Person from a third-party consultancy.
Learn MoreClassifying coal deposits in recently explored basins to internationally recognised reporting codes requires close attention to data quality and a comprehensive understanding of the geology.
Learn MoreThe CIS countries inherited the resource estimate code from the Soviet era that was originally created and is still updated by the Geological Commission for Reserves or GKZ.
Learn MoreInternational professional organisations in Australia, Canada, South Africa, USA, UK, Ireland, and many countries in Europe have adopted comparable codes, guidelines, and standards for mineral resource reporting.
Learn MoreThe Committee for Mineral Reserve International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) has consolidated reporting codes and standards to produce a consistent definition of a Mineral Resource.
