Abstract
Antimony ores were extracted and processed near the village of Milešov (Příbram district) for about twenty years in the second halfof the 19th century. Large heaps and a small sludge pond were left behind after this period. In 1988, this locality was inspected andsampled in order to gather information about residual resources of gold and antimony. The original archive data from this surveywere now studied again and interpreted using modern statistical and geostatistical methods. The interpolations methods chosenfor this purpose were inverse distance weighting (IDW), simple kriging and geostatistical sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS).These procedures allowed for a much more accurate determination of the spatial distribution of the elements or substances studied.The results showed significantly higher volumes and a more accurate localization of the studied elements in both bodies (heap andtailings). This procedure can be considered as the basis of a new methodology for the assessment of similar objects.
