Popis: Geostatistical analyses employed in the prospecting and for exploration of marine mineral resources, must be aimed at particular problems and goals. The quality of navigation, sampling, mining technology and the profitability of the project strongly influence such analyses. The studies presented here, have two main objectives, namely, to estimate the reserves of manganese nodules and to determine in what order the explored areas should be mined. Several geostatistical methods were used. These were designed partly to supplement one another, but mostly to create a sequence of analytical steps which could be applied to any typical marine exploration project.
