54 - Applications of Conditional Simulation - PART 1

In this episode of Fresh Thinking by Snowden Optiro, join Executive Consultant Ian Glacken and Principal Geostatistician Dr. Oscar Rondon as they explore the applications of Conditional Simulation in a two-part series.

This is the first episode.

This podcast at a glance:

0:30 Ian starts the podcast, introducing the topic and explaining what Conditional Simulation means briefly.
1:35 Oscar talks about the concept of simulation, specifically focusing on the idea of the space of uncertainty.
03:22 Ian moves on to discuss applications of simulation, emphasizing the importance of the group of realizations.
03:50 Oscar covers various things people might explore in the realm of applications.
04:30 Oscar explains the types of statistics that can be performed with the suite of realisations. 05:00 Oscar goes deeper, explaining what a transfer function is.
06:00 Ian provides examples of the most common applications of simulations.
06:20 Oscar and Ian talk about the difference between simulation and estimation.
08:20 Ian shifts to simulating geological uncertainty.
09:05 Oscar explains how to approach simulating both geological and grade uncertainty.
10:20 Ian introduces resource classification as one application involving multiple simulations and realisations.
11:30 Ian explains the difference between classifications in the JORC code and those used in simulations.
