Resource Modelling, Estimation & Reporting

An integrated approach with a focus on geology.

SRK understands that a reliable resource estimate depends on a robust 3D geological model. We combine our skillset in structural and geological interpretation to construct a model of your deposit. Our 3D models will improve your interpretation of deposits by defining appropriate geological domains and enabling constrained resource estimations to be carried out. They also offer the potential to generate new drill targets.

Our key services include:

  • Independent resource estimation and due diligence of resources
  • Geostatistical and resource estimation training and mentorship
  • Compilation of historical exploration and mining datasets into a 3D environment
  • Design of robust 3D resource models that incorporate geological and grade models
  • Set-up, technical review and audit of grade control systems
  • Expert advice on mineral resource management systems
  • Expert advice on resource classification
  • Conditional simulation for risk analysis, product variability and grade control systems
  • Geology data management systems

Daniel Guibal

Daniel Guibal’s range of deposit types studied covers a very broad spectrum and includes gold, copper, iron, tin, nickel (laterite and sulphides), lead-silver-zinc, uranium, mineral sands, phosphate, coal, diamonds and bauxite.  His particular fields of expertise include resource estimation, resource classification (JORC), recoverable resource evaluation (non-linear geostatistics, MIK, uniform conditioning), conditionals simulation of orebodies, application of conditional simulation to grade control and risk analysis, sampling theory, design, implementation and audit of grade control, and resource estimation systems, mining simulation, open pit optimisation and training of professionals in statistics, geostatistics, sampling and grade control.

Danny Kentwell

Danny Kentwell is a geostatistician with a background in geological modelling, mine planning and surveying. He has 25 years’ international experience with varied commodities including gold, copper, mineral sands, iron ore, nickel laterites, nickel sulphides and phosphate. Danny’s skills cover, 3D modelling, Resource estimation, open pit optimisation scheduling and design. His geostatistical expertise includes standard and recoverable resource estimation techniques such as uniform conditioning, indicator kriging and conditional simulation as well as multivariate estimation and simulation. As a geostatistician and engineer, he has an excellent understanding of the advantages and limitations of different resource estimation techniques, their resulting block grade, tonnage and value curves and their use in mine planning. Danny also has experience in applying geostatistical techniques to waste characterisation and determination of sampling adequacy from very small data sets.

Mike Cunningham

Michael has over 15 years’ experience as a geologist. He completed a PhD in post-Variscan tectonics (Ireland) and later completed two years of postdoctoral research into evaluating and modelling active oceanic slope processes. Mike has also worked in both Irish and British civil services where he was involved in shallow seabed mapping, GIS and software development. Mike’s experience with SRK includes projects in Australia and overseas (Indonesia, Lao, Sri Lanka, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tanzania, Congo, Liberia and Malaysia), and on a variety of commodities including graphite, gold, uranium, iron and potash. He has conducted 3D modelling of vein, epithermal and banded iron formation styles of mineralisation,m and Mineral Resource and exploration target estimates in accordance with JORC Code (2012) reporting guidelines.
