Read moreLocal Topcut Transition Modelling – Improving estimates by “going local”
In addition to optimising search parameters Snowden’s Supervisor software now also provides a process that ensures areas supported by several higher grade samples are not unfairly overly downgraded by a global topcut. The traditional approach to resource estimation is to apply the same estimation parameters to each block and the same topcut to each sample within a […]

Read moreLKNO – An alternative approach to optimising estimation parameters.
Local Kriging Neighbourhood Optimisation (LKNO) is an alternative approach to optimising estimation parameters. The purpose of LKNO is to ensure that each block is estimated with the best possible combination of parameters presented. Block estimates are independent of one another and as such there is no reason to apply the same estimation parameters to each […]
