Application of SD Method in Mineral Resources and Reserve Estimation in Gold Deposit— Setting No.(3)1 Ore Body of Yanjiatuan Gold Deposit in Muping Area of Yantai City in Shandong Province as an Example
SD method is a kind of reserves estimation method by using the theory of dynamic fractal geometry and based on the optimal structure of geological variables. By using SD mineral resources information system V4.0 developed by Beijing Endi Science and Technology Development Limited Company, resources and reserve of No.(3)1 ore body in Yanjiatuan gold deposit has been estimated. Geological reliability, degree of engineering controlling and accuracy level of reserves calculation have been examed. Finally, ffrom the shape of ore body and estimation results, the comparsion between SD method and traditional geological block method has been carried out.
