Block Modeling

Block Modeling is a three-dimensional spatial modeling method in mineral resource estimation that represents a mineral deposit as an array of regular volumetric blocks to which geological and economic attributes are assigned and estimated from sampling data and geostatistical analysis for subsequent resource evaluation and mine planning.
