Sampling and analysis of chemical element concentration distribution in rock units and orebodies

Existing sampling techniques applied within known orebodies, such as sampling along mining drifts, yield element concentration values for larger blocks of ore if they are extended into their surroundings. The resulting average concentration values have relatively small "extension variance"...
