Popis: Summary This work presents the first step of the use of a Bayesian sequential simulation algorithm to estimate the iron grades of Lalor VMS deposit. The approach is based on an in situ petrophysical relationship between iron grades and both conductivity and density. This statistical relationship is used to interpolate and extrapolate the iron grades over a 3D conductivity and density volume. Furthermore, this stochastic algorithm allows estimating the spatial uncertainty among a set of equiprobable realizations.
