In the final episode of our 7-part series on recoverable resources and localised conditional simulation (LCS), Susan Havlin from ‪@SnowdenOptiro‬ is joined by Bruce Kendall, Technical Advisor at Minerals 260, to discuss the application of LCS at the Bullabulling Gold Project in Western Australia. The episode explores:

  • Why Minerals 260 moved beyond traditional ordinary kriging methods
  • How LCS was used to better represent grade variability and uncertainty
  • The impact on resource modelling, mine planning, and grade control
  • Why approaches like LCS may become increasingly important for low-grade, variable deposits
