The use of structural geology in the mineral exploration industry

Function and status of structural geology in the Resource industry

J. R. Vearncombe

Summary: Basic, nuts and bolts structural geology has become an integral part of brownfields exploration, leading to significant growth in mineral deposits globally, including in Australia. The practice of structural geology has now become mainstream within exploration and mining companies.

Towards quantifying uncertainties in geological models for mineral resource estimation through outside-in deposit-scale structural geological analysis

R. J. Reid et al.

Summary: Mineral Resource downgrades can be prevented by integrating better structural geological interpretations into project evaluations. Geological modelling for Mineral Resource estimation is presented as a systematic process of structural geological analysis at the deposit-scale using drill-sampled grade data. Adopting this new approach means moving away from conventional mining industry methods that fail to explain the geometric complexities of mineral deposits.

The spatial distributions of mineralisation

Bruce E. Hobbs et al.

Summary: The spatial distribution of mineralisation is often assumed to be fractal, but it is actually better described by extreme value distributions (Gumbel, Frechet, and Weibull) rather than the Pareto distribution. This has important implications for mineralisation system models and thermodynamics.
