The case study in Chapter 5 presented the structural analysis for an iron ore deposit. We now show how to use the fitted 3D variogram model to krige point values then block grades. As the model has a high nugget effect, a large kriging neighbourhood is required. The fourth section shows what happens when smaller neighbourhoods are used. The last section illustrates why it is not advisable to krige small blocks from sparse samples, in order to calculate the recoverable reserves.
