Abstract
The special issue entitled “Developments in Quantitative Assessment and Modeling of Mineral Resource Potential” is composed of 17 papers that cover a diverse range of approaches to mineral resource assessment, including mainly multivariate statistical analysis, fractal and multifractal modeling, geostatistical modeling, machine learning, mathematical morphology and 3D mineral exploration. This introductory article first provides an overview of the developments and existing methods in quantitative assessment of mineral resources. Then, brief introductions of each of the 17 papers are provided. These papers can be grouped into three themes: (1) multifractal theory for mineral resource assessment; (2) machine learning for mineral prospectivity mapping; and (3) GIS-based 3D modeling for mineral exploration. The 17 papers either proposed novel methods or demonstrated innovative applications of existing methods.
