Martlet Consultants provides not only standard mineral resource evaluation methods to the mining industry, but offers novel solutions to complex mining problems using advanced geostatistical methods, operations research techniques, heuristic algorithms, and modern portfolio theory.
We assist clients to build more robust resource block models, and improve operational efficiency.
Technical Reviews and Audits
Andrew Richmond can review or audit data files, from a basic validation check for gaps, overlaps, missing data and negative assays, to estimating key risks or upside potential from altering parameters.
Optimisation Studies
Andrew Richmond can undertake optimisation studies into for example grade control sample patterns or review of the grade control block model methodology and parameters.
Geostatistical Resource Estimation
Andrew Richmond has expert knowledge of, and has used, many resource estimation techniques, including ordinary kriging, multiple indicator kriging and conditional simulation.
Due Diligence
Work can include a review of a resource model, or assessment of the robustness of resource estimate, or an we can estimate the probability for resource estimate to be redefined.
Geostatistical Studies
Geostatistical studies scope includes areas of block models that require upgrades, extensions or macro modification. Studies tend to result in new models, technical memos or reports.
Geostatistical Short Courses
Andrew Richmond has presented several geostatistical short courses in Australia, South America, and Europe. Please contact Andrew if you would like to discuss your company’s training needs.
