Abstract:
The creation of 3D models of ore zones and geotechnical properties is typically performed by the interpolation of borehole data. Kriging and other interpolation methods have serious sampling issues, including bias from borehole orientation. Interpolation and data projection would be better if guided by high resolution geophysical imaging. We propose, and show by example, to use seismic reflection data to robustly interpolate and project data from logged boreholes acquired over the Tropicana Gold Mine.
