Predictive Estimate of the Burgagylkan Gold-Silver Occurrence Using the Block Modeling Method
The paper presents the brief geological description of the research object and the results of geostatistical modeling of the object, Burgagylkan epithermal gold-silver occurrence, with the Micromine software. The brief methodology and work sequence for creating a three-dimensional model of the occurrence and block models of ore bodies are discussed. The object resources are calculated basing on the available data, and statistical indicators for the sample selection with results of analyses for gold and silver in relation to geological formations are analyzed. Positive data on the pre-sence of out-vein mineralization are obtained, and its resources in absolute and relative values are calculated. The resources of the object are almost doubled. Problems identified during prospecting have been marked, and the information on the current situation on the research object with an asses-sment of the prospects for resuming the works has been presented.
