Learn about key considerations and requirements for successful geometallurgical modelling.
Traditionally, resource geologists are tasked with evaluating geological and chemical data for modelling, domaining, analyses, and estimation but a more interdisciplinary approach is required to provide useful models to aid in the prediction of milling, processing, and recovery for mine and cash flow optimization.
Key aspects for the modelling of geometallurgical variables include data quality, data support, 3D domaining, and appropriate estimation methodology. These variables require similar scrutiny that is commonplace in resource geology with unique challenges of aligning outputs with the needs of the mine, mill, and operation as a whole.
SRK's Mark Noppe presented an introduction to geology and geometallurgy as part of Austmine's Improving Resource Knowledge to Optimise Minerals Processing webinar series.
