Introduction Who Should Attend

Since geostatistics developed by Prof. George Matheron in 1960, it has Mine engineers, geophysicists, geologist, geosciences, and everybody or
been applied greatly in mining industry for mineral resources evaluation and professional who want better understanding and to broaden the knowledge
reserves modeling. Geostatistical method considers the spatial structure which from the course subjects.
is represented by variogram model in estimation. Therefore it is leading Schedule
compared to the conventional reserves estimation methods such as polygonal,
triangular grouping, inverse distance square, nearest point, etc. Moreover, The course will be conducted for 28 hours (4 days) with detail subjects as
