Innovative methods in geostatistics drawn from experience in Chilean Copper Deposits – Half Day Seminar, Melbourne

Innovative methods in geostatistics drawn from
experience in Chilean Copper Deposits

Melbourne Half Day – Seminar

Presented by Serge Séguret

Seminar co-hosted by James Pocoe Consulting Pty Ltd and AIG Victorian branch.

Date

Monday 15 May, 2017
2-5pm

Venue

SRK Consulting
Level 9, 99 William Street, Melbourne

The Seminar

Drawing on hands-on experience and theoretical concepts Serge will encourage attendees to consider innovative approaches to problems across the mining value chain, with examples including:

• Porphyry unit modelling – Simulations
• Integrating grade control and resource drilling data – Co-kriging to account for bias and imprecision
• Modelling geotechnical characteristics – Directional Concentration
• Predicting metallurgical recovery & sampling – Non-additivity

The seminar will be in 2 parts with time for questions.  Light refreshments to follow.

Who should attend?

Resource evaluation practitioners looking for new insights- geologists, engineers, geostatisticians, metallurgists, geotechnical specialists.

About the presenter

Since 2003 Serge Séguret has been heavily involved in the application of geostatistics in the mining industry for partners including Codelco (Chile, copper), Vale (Brazil, iron) and Ma’aden (Saudi Arabia, phosphate) and more recently on South America lithium deposits.

Serge completed his PhD under the supervision of Georges Matheron at the Centre for Geostatistics, Écoles des Mines de Paris (Fontainebleau) in 1991.  For more than 30 years Serge has contributed to the dissemination of Geostatistics through theoretical works and applications in various domains including Marine Geophysics, Petroleum, Environment, Archaeology and Mining.
