Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Fetch Drillhole Assay Data
Retrieve chemical composition and grade data from the Assay Results data model.
2. Fetch Geological Logs
Retrieve lithology and alteration data from the Geological Logs data model.
3. Fetch Topography Data
Retrieve surface elevation and digital elevation model (DEM) coordinates.
4. Calculate Search Ellipsoid Parameters
Execute formula to determine anisotropy and search radii based on variogram models.
5. Assign Variogram Modeling Task
Assign a task to a Geostatistician to perform spatial continuity analysis.
6. Retrieve Variogram Models
Fetch processed spatial continuity parameters from the Geostatistics data model.
7. Execute Kriging Interpolation
Execute the core Ordinary Kriging algorithm using assay values and variogram parameters.
8. Create Block Model Grid
Generate the 3D block model entries (nodes) containing estimated grades.
9. Update Block Grade Attributes
Populate the newly created block grid with calculated mineral grades and densities.
10. Calculate Global Mean Grade
Aggregate all block entries to calculate the average grade of the entire estimated volume.
11. Calculate Total Contained Metal
Sum the product of (Volume * Density * Grade) across all blocks to find total tonnage.
12. Retrieve Resource Classification Criteria
Fetch threshold values for Measured, Indicated, and Inferred resource classification.
13. Assign Resource Category
Update each block entry with its classification (Measured/Indicated/Inferred) based on kriging variance.
14. QA/QC Validation Review
Assign a task to the Senior Geologist to validate the estimation against raw data.
15. Generate Resource Estimation Summary
Create a technical report summarizing grades, tonnage, and classification by domain.
16. Notify Project Manager
Send an email to the Project Manager with the summary of the new resource estimate.
17. Alert Site Supervisor
Send an SMS alert to the Site Supervisor regarding the availability of the new estimation update.
