Something for nothing?—An unconventional approach to extracting three-dimensional grade information from two-dimensional estimation of thin, tabular reef deposits
This paper presents an initial investigation into the viability of co-kriging the grades of multiple mining cuts in a two dimensional, thin reef scenario. Deposits with gradational mineralized zones,
