Minimum octants. Enter the minimum number of octants
which must contain some data before a value will be kriged.
Maximum per "hole". Enter the maximum number of
samples admissible from a single hole. The nearest samples
will take precedence. Enter zero to use unlimited samples.
A drillhole is identified by a six character string field in the
extraction file. Gemcom will not be able to distinguish between
holes with names greater than six characters long if the first
six characters are identical. This may lead to unwanted results
when using this option.

appropriate to your data. If unsure, use a large value (e.g.,
10000000).
Minimum and maximum values for sample selection.
Value. Enter minimum and maximum allowable sample
data values allowed for kriging. This may allow, for
example, exclusion of negative values (which are
sometimes used to denote missing samples) or extraction of
a sub-population from a larger set.
Easting. Enter minimum and maximum eastings (X
values) for acceptance of sample data.
Northing. Enter minimum and maximum northings (Y
Page 3322

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for any additional variograms you wish to define.
Define Target and Sample (Rock) Codes
Choose the Target and sample (rock) codes tab to specify block
model initialization options and target rock codes.
Target and sample (rock) codes tab
1. On the Target and sample (rock) codes tab, enter the following
data:
Block model access option. Choose one of the following
processing options:
Overwrite completely. The entire model (grade and/or
probability and/or variance) is pre-initialized for the levels
selected before the first rock code is processed. This is most
often used the first time a model is processed or if the entire
model needs to re-processed.
Page 3325
Update selected rock codes. Only the rock codes being
processed are initialized. This is most often used once some
of the rock codes have been processed and it is required to
update the model further with new information or another
rock code.
Partial update (0 grades only). Only blocks of the selected rock
code(s) which have not yet been assigned a non-zero value
in the grade model (the first grade model listed when doing
MIK to multiple models) will be processed. This is a
somewhat unusual but sometimes useful option.
Rock model. Enter the folder\model name of the rock type
model or use the browse button [] to bring up a Choose Model
dialog box. See Choose Model Dialog Box in the introductory
section of this chapter.
Target rock codes. Enter the following data in the grid text
boxes, with a separate row for target rock code:
Target. Enter a rock code you wish to krige into.
Sample rock code. Enter up to 10 sample rock codes
(found in the integer field of the extraction file) that you
wish to krige into the target rock code at left.
Extract file. Enter the path and name of the sample data
file to be used for kriging into the target rock code at left,
or use the browse button [] to invoke the Browse dialog
box for searching your projects.

an existing selection as the kriging target block domain:
Use current selection. Check this box to krige only into a
selection of blocks.
If you checked the box, enter the following data:
Depending on which blocks you wish to krige, activate the
radio button alongside All blocks in model, Blocks in current
selection, or Blocks not in current selection.
Or,
1. Enter the following data to define a new selection as the kriging
target block domain:
Use multiple selection. Check this box to krige only into
blocks located in specific rows, columns and/or levels.
Page 3327
Row, Column. Enter the Minimum and Maximum
target block domain indices. You can choose All rows and/or
All columns to remove all restrictions.
Level/bench. Choose desired levels by clicking on the
index at left. Choosing a highlighted level will deselect it.
You can also use No levels and/or All levels.
Use flag model. Check this box to krige only into blocks which
contain data that meets or exceeds a user-defined threshold
criteria. The threshold need not be associated with the model
being kriged. For example, you may wish to krige only those
blocks which contain a density value greater than 2.50.
File. Enter the folder\model name of the flag model or use
the browse button [] to bring up a Choose Model dialog
box. See Choose Model Dialog Box in the introductory
section of this chapter.
Value > than. When a block in the flag model contains a
value exceeding this threshold, that block will be selected
for kriging.
You can use both flag model and multiple selection filtering to
limit the set of blocks eligible for kriging.
Define Trace Blocks
Choose the Trace blocks and crossvalidation tab to specify trace
block indices. You may identify up to 20 trace blocks to track the
kriging process. Trace information for each selected block includes:
Graphical display of surrounding search volume.
Location and kriging equation/weight information.
It is strongly recommended you use at least three trace blocks, one
each in an ore zone, a waste zone and a zone of uncertainty.
You may also use this tab to crossvalidate sample statistics with
kriging results (jackknifing).
Page 3328
Trace blocks and crossvalidation tab
1. On the Trace blocks and crossvalidation tab, enter the
following data:
Enter the Column, Row, and Level coordinates for each
desired trace block.
Use the [Insert] key or down arrow to create new rows.
Use crossvalidation. Check the box if you wish to report
crossvalidation results or uncheck it to skip this process.
If you checked the box, enter the following:
Activate the radio button alongside Only on selected rock
types to crossvalidate only on the rock types defined on the
Target and sample (rock) codes tab, or All samples in first
extraction file to crossvalidate without regard for rock type.
Effective block dimensions. Enter the Easting,
Northing, and Elevation dimensions of a fictitious block
to be constructed around each sample.
Page 3329
Trace sample ID numbers for crossvalidation. Enter
the number of each desired sample for crossvalidation.
Use the [Insert] key or down arrow to create new rows.
Crossvalidation trace results are found at the end of the
kriging report.
Define Kriging Method / IK Parameters
Choose the Kriging Method / IK Parameters tab to specify one of
several interpolation methods, as well as to define bins when using
indicator kriging.
Kriging method IK parameters tab
1. On the Kriging method / IK parameters tab, enter the following
data:
Kriging method. Choose an interpolation method from:
Ordinary kriging.
Single indicator kriging.
Page 3330
Multiple indicator kriging to single model.
Multiple indicator kriging to multiple models.
Inverse distance method (true weighting).
Inverse distance method (anisotropic weighting).
Block variance. Choose the method of determining block
variance: calculate Variance by level (not recommended for a
seam geometry), use a Constant block height (and calculate
variance only once per rock type), or calculate Variance by block
(beneficial only with a seam geometry.)
If you chose constant variance, enter the following:
Constant block height. Enter a positive block height for
constant variance calculations.
Samples.
Minimum. Enter the minimum number of samples
required to krige a block. If fewer than the minimum
samples are found, the block will not be kriged.
Maximum. Enter the maximum number of samples in one
block to be admitted for kriging. If the number of samples
found exceeds this limit, only the "closest" samples those
at minimum effective distance (as modified by search
anisotropy)will be used, up to the maximum number.
If you have chosen either of the inverse distance methods, enter the
following data:
Inverse distance (ID) power. Enter the exponent for inverse
distance sensitivity; for example, 1 if influence is proportional
to 1/D, 2 if influence is proportional to 1/D
2
.
If you have chosen ordinary kriging or any of the IK methods, enter
the following data:
Negative weight. Choose Use negative weight or Set to zero. The
latter option, which converts negative weights to 0 and re
Page 3331
scales the other weights so that the overall sum of weights
remains 1, is recommended for indicator kriging.
Block subdivision. Enter the level of subdivision of a block,
in the X, Y and Z directions for computation of block variance
and the variances between point and block for block kriging.
A value of 2, 2, 2 is typical for small blocks with far spaced data.
For big blocks with closely spaced data, 4, 4, 4 may be
appropriatealthough it represents 8 times as many "sample
points" and commensurately longer computation times. Valid
levels range from 1 to 11.
If you have chosen single IK or MIK to single model, enter the
following data:
Number of SMUs per block. Enter the number of SMUs
(selective mining units) per block. If other than 0, then
dilution is added to the computed probability so that the new
probability does not represent a volume smaller than 1 SMU.
The amount of dilution added is most if the computed
probability is low and least if the computed probability is high.
The high grade component is then diluted with material from
the low grade material below the cut-off grade for that block.
See the example in Chapter 6: Interpolation and Kriging.
Indicator kriging parameters. For each indicator class,
enter the following parameters in the grid text box.
From. Enter the indicator cut-off for the class.
To. Enter the indicator cut-off for the next class. (The From
of the second class must be equal to the To of the first class,
etc.) Use a large value for To of the final class.
Variogram. Choose the semivariogram name to be used
for this class. If the semivariograms as specified by rock
code on the Target and sample (rock) codes tab are to
be used, choose <Void>.
If you have chosen either of the multiple IK methods, enter the
following data:
Page 3332
Grade usage. Choose one of the following sample grade
processing options:
Use sample grade values. The grade of the sample is
appropriately weighted to compute the resultant grade.
Use bin mean grades. The mean of all samples (for the
current rock type selection) within the current indicator
bin is computed. This bin grade is used in conjunction with
block fractions and/or sample weights to compute the
resultant grade.
Use bin mean grades + median of high grade bin. Bin grades are
used, with the highest bin grade replaced with the median
of the samples in that bin, rather than the mean. This may
be a superior option in cases with highly skewed data
distributions.
Solve matrix. Choose either After first cut-off only or After every
cut-off. If multiple semi--variograms have not been selected for
each cut-off, the latter option may provide slightly more
accurate results, but may take significantly longer to run.
Use nesting. Uncheck the box to use only samples falling
within the current grade interval and the interval immediately
below the current interval for block fraction calculations.
Check the box to include samples above the current grade
interval.
Define Output Destination
Choose the Output destination tab to specify what data is to be
written to which files.
