Automating Resource Modelling Workflows - Modernizing Traditional to Probabilistic Techniques
This 1-day workshop offers a practical, hands-on approach to understanding automated resource modelling workflows, from traditional deterministic methods (e.g., IDW, Kriging) to advanced probabilistic approaches (e.g., continuous and categorical simulation). Rather than focusing on specifics on the theory behind the methods, participants will be provided with pre-built workflows designed to streamline geostatistical processes. Each step of the workflow will be broken down and explained, so attendees can fully understand what is being done and why.
Through ready-to-use scripts and examples, participants will follow along, using Python-based tools to automate grade-control models, long-term models, and probabilistic models. Automation is key not only for improving efficiency and consistency but also for allowing geologists to dedicate more time to critical thinking and geological interpretation - the core of effective resource modelling. By embedding rigorous checks and validations throughout the workflow, automation ensures that models are reliable, transparent, and auditable.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have a solid understanding of how to apply automated workflows to improve decision-making in modern resource estimation.
