Abstract

A three-dimensional simulation model was used to study spatial variability of grade values for a disseminated gold deposit for mine-planning purposes. After a review of fundamentals of the technique, the paper presents a case history of a disseminated gold deposit (Québec, Canada) in an application of the SIMULHOLE program. Real and simulated histograms, as well as geological sections transverse and longitudinal to the orebody with grades simulated for each synthetic hole, are given as output of the SIMULHOLE program.
