and the profile angle y via the depth h (Fig. 4c). The triangle AHG is oriented perpendicular to the strike of the orebody. So the angle betweenand GH is the dip angle,8. Therefore h = b· tan,8. (1) N ow we consider the triangle AJG with the apparent dip angle 8. The relationship for his h = c· tan8, combining Eqs. (1) and (2) we get
Mineral resource estimation involves the determination of the grade and tonnage of a mineral deposit based on its geological characteristics using various estimation methods. Conventional estimation methods, such as geometric and geostatistical techniques, remain the most widely used methods for resource …
Reserves estimation in tight gas reservoirs. The resource triangle, Fig. 1, describes the distribution of original gas in place (OGIP) in a typical basin. [1] At the top of the triangle are the high permeability reservoirs. These reservoirs are small, and, once discovered, as much as 80 to 90% of the OGIP can be produced using conventional ...

Gold Reserve Estimation Methods. Reserve Estimation and Placer Valuation: Methods that can be used for reserve estimation and placer valuation are (1) block method (2) triangle method (3) polygonal method (4) cross-section method (5) method of diamonds. After samples have been collected, washed, and assayed, reserves for a deposit can be …
The main disadvantages of the triangulation method are as follows: estimation results depend on triangulation pattern which is subjectively chosen; all drill hole intersections receive the same weight independently of the size and shape of the triangle; method is lacking of ability to implement a structural interpretation of the deposit.
The area influenced by any given hole is found as follows: (1) Divide angle at hole by 180°. (2) Multiply total area of entire prism by above result. (3) Multiply area found by (2) by the average thickness (found by solution of the formula) of ore in the hole, which thus transforms this smaller prism into volume.
Reserve estimation using geometric method (triangular block) There are various geometric methods available for estimating the reserve of a deposit (e.g., …
Another method, known as the triangle method, requires that we connect adjacent holes into triangles. The included area of each triangle is assigned the characteristic not of a single hole, but of the weighted average of …
Mineral Resources and Reserves Estimation . This factsheets clearly defines the meanings of resources and reserves and discusses how exploration and mining companies calculate these figures. The basic geostatistical principles and process that are used in calculating these figures are covered, as are the different types of input data that are
Abstract. Resource and reserve estimation is a critical step in mine development and the progression from mineral exploration to commodity production. The …
The results of reserve calculations depended on the triangle method are listed in (Table 5). The average bulk density in the study area = 1.735 (g/cm³) (Table 4). The total reserve (R.) = ∑ ...
Polygonal ore reserve estimation method is a geometric method of evaluating mineral deposits. In this technique the area of exploration is divided into various shaped blocks which are either square, triangular, or rectangular. Often the target area will be divided in triangles using boreholes and the all the triangle blocks are added together ...
method. Conventional Ore Reserve Estimation Methods • Among the many conventional ore reserve estimation methods only three methods will be discussed here. They are; 1) the polygon method, 2) the inverse of the distance squared method, IDS for short, 3.) and a modification of the inverse of the distance method, which will be called

The proven and probable mineral reserves at the North American Lithium Project are estimated at 21.7 million tonnes (Mt), grading 1.08% Li₂O with contained Li₂O of 235,500t. Mining methods. The project will use conventional open-pit bulk mining methods with hydraulic excavators, dump trucks, and drill and blast. Ore from the …
These cost models use Taylors Rule to estimate mine operating rate from a given reserve estimate. It was thought prudent, some 20 years hence, to re-estimate Taylors Rule using a much larger sam-ple covering the full range of mining methods used in modern mining. Taylor (1986) noted several rea-sons why certain underground mines might have a
In mining studies, the coal seam surface values that must be modeled in order to estimate the reserve in the most accurate way can be estimated with high truth by kriging methods. In this study, spatial analysis was applied by using the ordinary kriging method from 31 borehole data for the purpose of assessment of the coal seam surfaces …
when combined, cause significant uncertainties in the reserves estimate. As production and pressure data from a field become available, decline analysis and material balance calculations, become the predominant methods of calculating reserves. These methods greatly reduce the uncertainty in reserves estimates;
This chapter presents definitions of the various factors and criteria used in the production of mine metal, or mineral, inventories and ore-reserves. Descriptions are also provided of the methods available for the production of an overall estimate of grade, tonnage and metal/mineral content of a deposit. These 'classical methods' have stood ...
