Risk Qualified Mineral Resources / Reserves with Modern Geostatistics

Описание: Dr Clayton Deutsch
Professor of Geostatistics, University of Alberta, Canada

Resource and reserve estimation is essential for project evaluation and mine planning. The techniques and software tools have evolved over the years and we are getting better at quantifying uncertainty and transferring that through evaluation and planning processes. The current state of the art of resources and reserves estimation will be reviewed and future trends will be discussed.

Dr. Clayton Deutsch is a Professor in the School of Mining and Petroleum Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. He teaches and conducts research into better ways to model heterogeneity and uncertainty in mineral deposits and petroleum reservoirs.
Prior to joining the University of Alberta, Dr. Deutsch was an Associate Professor (Research) in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Stanford University. His employment history also includes three years with Exxon Production Research Company and three years with Placer Dome Inc.
Dr. Deutsch has published eight books and over three hundred research papers. He holds the Alberta Chamber of Resources Industry Chair in Mining Engineering and the Canada Research Chair in Natural Resources Uncertainty Characterization.
