For several decades geostatistical methods have been used in mining. These methods are used in geological research with respect to the occurence of minerals such as coal, oil and various metals. As it is very expensive to acquire information about the presence of minerals (drilling at great depth), usually not much information is available. Geostatistical research has proved to be an important help.
