Resource Estimation

Recent advances in mining software have enabled the implementation of radial basis functions (RBFs) as interpolation and extrapolation algorithms for both continuous (grade) and categorical (geology) data. Read more... about Radial basis functions and kriging – a gold case study

Resource estimation could be considered equal parts Art/Science/Math, due to its foundations in statistics and calculus, its incorporation of physical, chemical, and geological principles, and its requirement for subjectivity.
