Geological Modelling

What it takes to go from a mining record to a quantitative model that survives scrutiny — and, at every step, what may not yet be concluded.

All 6 articles are published. Each one states what it needs, what can be concluded with it, and what cannot — and every one stays marked DRAFT until it has had independent geological review.

1. From holes to sections to a solid publishedPoints, sections, wireframes and solids — the chain that turns observations into geometry.
2. Geological domains: vein, lens, stockwork publishedThe shapes a body takes, and why the shape governs the estimate.
3. How more holes constrain a geometry publishedThe same body seen by two holes, five and twelve.
4. Spatial interpolation: NN, IDW, RBF and kriging publishedThe same data, four answers — strengths, limits, and when not to use each.
5. Block models publishedBlock size, parent and sub-blocks, attributes, and what a block actually asserts.
6. A reproducible GeaSpirit case study publishedOne path from public evidence to a quantitative conceptual model, provenance intact.
