Mathematical Method for Predicting Nickel Deposit Based on Data from Drilling Points
Abstract: In this article we
discuss several methods for predicting nickel ore content inside the soil under
a given area/region.
The prediction is
the main objective
of the exploration
activity which is very important for conducting the exploitation
activity from economic point of view. The prediction methods are based on the
data obtained from the drilling activity at several „points‟. The data yields
information on the nickel density at those points. Nickel density over the
region is approximated (with an approximate function) by applying interpolation
and/or extrapolation based on the data from those points. The nickel content is
predicted by applying integral of the approximate function over the given
region.
