Geometallurgical modelling: algorithms for spatial prediction

采矿项目根据对矿体性质的估计（从非常有限的样本和冶金测试数据中得出）来决定采矿方法、计划、进度、设备和设置以及采矿作业。这导致在采矿和加工过程中预测材料性质变化后果的能力较低，具有重大的经济和环境后果。为了从对这些变化的反应性反应转变为预测性设置，

Mining projects base decisions about the mining method, plan, schedule, equipment and setting, and the mine operation on estimates of the properties of the ore body, drawn from very limited sample and metallurgical test data. This leads to a low capacity to anticipate consequences of changes in the materials properties, during mining and processing, with significant economic and environmental consequences. In order to move from a reactive response to these changes, to a predictive setting,
