MRE26 will bring together geoscientists and other professionals to discuss the status and future of resource evaluation. Topics will showcase leading practice and advancements in sampling/QAQC; geological modelling; geostatistical estimation and simulation; inputs into reasonable prospects for economic extraction; project risk analysis; grade control and reconciliation; and resource reporting.

It will promote the exchange of information through a series of Keynote presentations and networking during the day.

The meeting will be run in collaboration with the Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter.

  • How do we collect and maintain representative samples across the mine value chain?

  • Limitations of current estimation techniques.

  • Learning from past failures to improve future practice.

  • How do we ensure estimates are clearly and accurately communicated to end-users?

  • Considerations of reasonable prospects for (eventual) economic extraction - driving open and honest practice.

  • Quantifying and communicating variability in resource models 

  • International reporting standards. 

  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The Conference will be of interest to all those who work on Mineral Resource Evaluation across the mine value chain. It will be relevant to practice in the following domains: exploration geology, resource development, resource estimation/geostatistics, and mining/production geology. Those that work across industry, consulting and academic sectors are encouraged to attend.

  • Dr. Simon Dominy - Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter
  • Prof. Hylke Glass - Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter
