Fun with Patterns and Perspectives: The Future of Orebody Knowledge

Keynote presentation synopsis

Geoscience data from innovative sensing and scanning technologies reveal spatial patterns that improve our understanding of mineral systems and support integrated mining operations. This talk will show examples of how spatial patterns in old and new data can improve orebody knowledge and deliver better inputs for the downstream customers of the orebody, in mine planning, operations and processing.
