Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Manage, analyze and interpret drilling data using descriptive statistics analysis methods.
2. Combine and interpret the tectonic and geological data of deposits in a three-dimensional environment.
3. Build dynamic 3D geological models by applying innovative modeling software packages.
4. Apply Geostatistics using variograms and estimators (kriging) to analyze the spatial behavior of variables (eg. contents) and calculate the reserves of the mineral deposit.
