Chapter(2): Advanced Analytics and Deposit Assessment

CHAPTER DESCRIPTION

The application of advanced data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in the mining industry is growing fast. One of the essential subjects in the mining value chain is the deposit assessment. This chapter aims to present an introduction of deposit assessment in mining, a summary of geological data collection, geologic interpretation, modeling, and representation. Moreover, this chapter discusses the sample preparation and assaying process and ore-body sampling and metallurgical testing. Furthermore, other subjects, including mineral resource estimation, valuation of mineral properties, mineral property feasibility studies, and cost estimation for underground and surface mines, are discussed in this chapter.
