Geostatistics applied to short-term mine planning

摘要

Geostatistics is being used today for long-term mine planning (e.g., ore reserve estimation and mine model development) and for production scheduling (e.g., ore-waste selection) at many of metal mines in the U. S. Geostatistics isnotas yet used for short-term mine planning, although geostatistics provides ideal tools to satisfy several goals of short-term mine planning.
