Practical problems and real data are used throughout as illustrations: each chapter ends with a summary of practical concerns, a number of practical exercises and a short list of references for supplementary study. This textbook is suitable for any university or mining school that offers senior undergraduate and graduate student courses on mineral resource/reserve estimation. It will also be valuable for professional mining engineers, geological engineers and geologists working with mineral exploration and mining companies.OresSampling and estimationOresSampling and estimation.669/.92Sinclair Alastair J(Alastair James),1935-1540345Blackwell Garston H.1944-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910777382103321Applied mineral inventory estimation3791931UNINA
