AMC Consultants is thrilled to partake and present at the upcoming Australia Geology Symposium 2024 hosted by Datamine, taking place in Perth on September 17-18, 2024. Join Ingvar Kirchner, Geology Manager and Principal Geologist, as he delivers a presentation titled “Why MIK/LMIK (and a Bit of How),” offering a detailed exploration of Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK) and Localized Multiple Indicator Kriging (LMIK) for complex mineralization models. Ingvar will discuss how the MIK/LMIK approach excels with mineralization types such as stockwork, sheeted vein, and disseminated styles, particularly when statistical consistency within domains is challenging. While it’s one of many estimation methods, MIK/LMIK stands out for its integration of key geological, geostatistical, and mining concepts, making it a strong choice for early-stage mining studies. The upcoming Australia Geology Symposium 2024 will focus on advancing outcomes in mine and resource geology, tackling prevalent industry challenges, and showcasing expert solutions. We invite you to connect with industry leaders and gain valuable insights!

🌍🛠 Exploring the Future of 3D Geomodeling in Mineral Exploration 🛠🌍 I recently came across an article that truly reshaped my thinking about 3D geomodeling. It highlights how rule-based hybrid implicit-explicit modeling is transforming our ability to map complex geological environments—specifically in the Kiruna mining district. What caught my attention was how they combined surface observations with subsurface data to reveal key insights into ore-parallel fractures and the role of faults in iron oxide-apatite (IOA) mineralization. It's a fascinating approach that offers a clearer understanding of how geology shapes mineral deposits and how we can refine exploration strategies. If you're curious about how cutting-edge techniques are changing the game in mineral exploration, this is definitely worth a read! #geomodeling #mineralexploration #geology #innovation #3Dmodeling #IOA #miningtech Feel free to share your thoughts if you check it out! 👇

Section VII.A.1: The Art & Science of Earth's Bounty The Earth's Gambit: An Analysis of Prospecting & Mining in Section VII.A.1 Abstract In this analysis, we delve into the bedrock of mineral exploration with a spotlight on Section VII.A.1, where the romance of prospecting meets the reality of mining. Here, the Earth is both the casino and the prize, where hopeful prospectors play a high-stakes game against the geologic odds. We explore the philosophical shift from the gold pan to the geophysical survey, reflecting humanity's evolving dance with geology. This section examines the lifecycle of mining operations, from the whisper of a mineral vein to the echoing silence of a reclaimed mine, highlighting technological leaps and environmental considerations. Through a lens that's both critical and comedic, we assess the economic love affairs and legal tangos that define modern mining. By integrating data from the ground to the ionosphere, this analysis not only maps the terrains of earth but also the contours of human ambition, where every dig is a gamble, and every find is a tale of elemental courtship. #SpaceMining, #DeepSeaExploration, #FutureOfMining, #SustainableResources, #OceanConservation, #ExtraterrestrialResources, #TechInnovation, #EnvironmentalImpact, #ResourceScarcity, #MiningTechnology, #MarineLife, #CosmicFrontiers, #OceanDepths, #EcoTech, #ClimateChangeSolutions https://lnkd.in/gCQHM84R

Minerals like 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐞, 𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐞, 𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 (𝐚 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐞) and 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞 have strong correlations between their grade and geophysical properties such as magnetic susceptibility and density. By leveraging borehole data, we can establish regression models that predict these properties across unexplored regions, reducing the number of boreholes and saving significant costs. This approach improves inversion accuracy, helping geologists reveal complex subsurface structures and enhance exploration efforts. #Geophysics #MineralExploration #GravityData #MagneticData #InversionModel #BoreholeData #Mining #Magnetite #Hematite #Chromite #CostEfficiency #DataScience

Datamine is excited to announce another key presentation you won’t want to miss! by our expert Silvia Misk in partnership with Ideon Technologies at the upcoming MRMR Conference 2024 in Vancouver! 🎉 In this session, we will explore the integration of advanced geostatistical methods with high-resolution geophysical data to enhance density models in mining operations. As mining companies search deeper underground, this combination of muon tomography and traditional hard datasets, like drill holes, is becoming essential for more accurate resource estimations and improved operational efficiency. With this cutting-edge approach, mining companies can significantly reduce uncertainty and make better billion-dollar decisions about ore bodies. This technical presentation was written in partnership with Nigel Phillips – Director of Geosciences, Ideon and Stephen Mosher – Geophysical Analyst, Ideon We can’t wait to share these groundbreaking insights with you at MRMR Conference 2024! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the future of density modeling in mining. 🚀 #Datamine #MRMR2024 #MiningOperations #Geostatistics #DensityModeling #MiningInnovation #Geophysics

Delta Announces the Completion of a Till Sampling Program at the Delta-1 Gold Project in Thunder Bay, Ontario ⛏️ We are pleased to announce the completion of the field portion of an extensive till sampling program at its Delta-1 Gold Project, located approximately 50 kilometres west of the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The survey consists of a series of sampling fences spaced at every 1-1.2 km, oriented orthogonal to the dominant local ice-flow direction (here E-W to WNW-ESE). Samples within each fence are spaced by approximately 300 metres. The survey covers an area of roughly 80 km2 and consists of 224 sample sites. André Tessier, President, and CEO commented: "Delta has now proven the Delta-1 Gold property can host a significant orebody with the discovery of the Eureka Gold Zone. The team is optimistic for the potential of the Shebandowan area at large and is now taking a systematic approach with proven methods to explore the vast area of Delta's newly expanded property." Initial gold count results (including the morphology of the gold grains) for the first samples are expected later this summer, with follow-up exploration work starting immediately thereafter. Meanwhile, geological mapping and prospecting work is ongoing on the newly acquired properties. 🔸TSX-V: DLTA | OTCBB: DTARF | Frankfurt: 6G01 🔸 #ThunderBay #Ontario #Mining #Exploration #Gold #GoldMining #Investing #Delta1 See the full news release ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gb9J-7Qs
