1 Executive Summary

This comprehensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) follows industry best-practice workflows for pre-resource estimation, incorporating methodologies from:

JORC Code (2012) - Competent Person requirements
NI 43-101 - Canadian resource reporting standards
SNI 4726:2019 - Indonesian mineral resource classification
Orebit.id Best Practices - Spatial Statistics & Geological Domaining

Case Study: Thalanga VMS Deposit, Queensland, Australia

Dataset: 612 drill holes | 36,719 meters drilled | 9,331 assays

Objective: Define estimation domains for Measured/Indicated resource classification

SENIOR GEOLOGIST PERSPECTIVE:

This workflow represents industry best practice in resource estimation. Key differentiators:

✅ Domain-first approach (NOT grade shells alone)
✅ Combined geological + statistical validation
✅ Explicit domain boundaries for software export
✅ JORC-compliant uncertainty quantification
✅ Ready for Leapfrog/Micromine/GEOVIA import

4 Spatial Statistics Analysis

OREBIT.ID METHODOLOGY: Spatial Statistics

Reference: https://orebit.id/posts/Spatial%20Statistics/

Key Steps: 1. Drill spacing analysis (nearest neighbor) 2. Coverage assessment (data density) 3. Variogram range estimation 4. Classification readiness (M/I/Inf zones)

Industry Rule: Median spacing ≤ 50% of variogram range

4.1 Drill Spacing Analysis

# Calculate nearest neighbor distances
coords_matrix <- as.matrix(collar[, c("GDA94_E", "GDA94_N")])
dist_matrix <- as.matrix(dist(coords_matrix))
diag(dist_matrix) <- NA

nn_dist <- apply(dist_matrix, 1, function(x) min(x, na.rm = TRUE))
nn_dist <- nn_dist[is.finite(nn_dist)]

# Statistics
spacing_stats <- data.frame(
  Metric = c("Mean", "Median", "Q25", "Q75", "Min", "Max", "SD"),
  Distance_m = c(
    mean(nn_dist), median(nn_dist),
    quantile(nn_dist, 0.25), quantile(nn_dist, 0.75),
    min(nn_dist), max(nn_dist), sd(nn_dist)
  )
)

Mean	294.3
Median	198.1
Q25	52.9
Q75	339.8
Min	0.0
Max	3403.7
SD	348.2

median_spacing <- median(nn_dist)

ggplot(data.frame(Distance = nn_dist), aes(x = Distance)) +
  geom_histogram(bins = 50, fill = "steelblue", alpha = 0.7, color = "white") +
  geom_vline(xintercept = median_spacing, color = "red", 
             linetype = "dashed", size = 1.5) +
  annotate("text", x = median_spacing * 1.4, y = Inf,
           label = paste0("Median: ", round(median_spacing), "m\n",

Median spacing: 198 meters

TOP-CUTTING RECOMMENDATION:

For VMS deposits, apply P99 top-cutting: - Affects only ~1% of samples - Minimizes metal loss (typically 2-5%) - Controls extreme outlier impact on kriging - JORC-compliant methodology

6 Geological Domain Modeling

OREBIT.ID METHODOLOGY: Geological Domain Definition

Reference: https://orebit.id/posts/Geological%20Domain/

CRITICAL INDUSTRY PRACTICE:

Domains MUST be defined by: 1. Geological boundaries (lithology, alteration) 2. Grade continuity (statistical validation) 3. NOT grade shells alone ← Common mistake!

Best Practice: Combined geological + grade approach
