RESOURCE ESTIMATION
Shemco has extensive experience in the mining sector, covering the full journey from discovery to development.
As a Senior Exploration and Mine Geologist, Shemco has worked with both open-pit and underground operations at Gécamines in the DRC and Anglo American in South Africa.
Shemco applies a range of modern
techniques and software tools for
exploration, geological modeling,
and resource estimation.
Mineral resource estimation is the process that mining uses to calculate the quantity, grade, and economic value of minerals in the ground.
The estimation process involves:
*.- Data Collection (Gathering geological mapping, drill core samples, geophysical data, and geochemical data),
*.- 3D Modeling (building a computer-based geological and block model of the ore body),
.- Grade Interpolation (Using geostatistical methods to assign grades and density values to the blocks)
*.- Economic Evaluation (Applying cutoff grades to define resource ).
