Resource Estimation & Geostatistics

Domain interpretation, variography, block-model construction and grade estimation – classical geostatistics applied in Leapfrog, with classification aligned to the JORC 2012 Code.

What we do

  • Compositing and exploratory data analysis; top-cut / capping strategy
  • Variography (including directional and downhole)
  • Boundary analysis and domain validation
  • Grade estimation – ordinary kriging, inverse distance, nearest neighbour
  • Block-model construction and validation; grade–tonnage curves
  • Estimation review, peer review and audit
  • Competent-person-level support for JORC (2012) resource statements (select gold deposit styles)

We can rebuild, test or peer-review a historical estimate – including reconciling domains, sample-selection and search parameters – so you know what the numbers actually rest on.
