Understanding Geology and Structure: An Essential Part of Mineral Resource Estimation

Abstract: The assumption of continuity of mineralisation between sampling points, as stated in the JORC Code, requires a "confident interpretation of the geological framework". The elements of relevance to a geological framework vary greatly depending on the commodity and style of mineralisation. In general terms, at least two elements must be considered to underpin a geological framework: space and time. The geometry and location of a mineralised body are controlled by physical and/or chemical elements, which can be un… Show more

“…An issue with the current approach is that it is somewhat biased toward single-target alignment. There is no incentive for a source component to overlap with multiple targets since stepping outside the boundary of a target incurs a negative penalty in (11). This usually deters any 'cross-over' unless the source component is large enough to encompass both targets and the targets are reasonably close together that reward outweighs penalty.…”

“…Remote sensing has been a versatile tool in geology for the understanding of regional mapping, structural interpretation and to aid prospecting of mineral deposits [6]. Understanding the geology and structure of a terrain plays an important role in mineral resource estimation, evaluation and exploration [7][8][9]. Structural mapping is the identification and characterization of structural expression and these structures includes faults, folds, joints and fractures.…”
