摘要

During early-stage diamond exploration projects, hard data underpinning spatial continuity is often very limited. An extreme example of this is a submerged diamondiferous marine placer target area alongside a current onshore mining area in southwestern Namibia. Although an abundance of geological and grade data exists for the adjacent onshore mining area, the target area itself contains no such information. Despite this apparent abundance of data, it is extremely difficult to obtain a variogram (Prins and Jacob, 2014) for use in this study area. The use of traditional simulation techniques is further hindered by the fact that diamond entrapment within the highly gullied footwall is non-stationary. An alternative approach for creating a simulated virtual orebody (VOB) is thus required in order to enable the assessment of sampling strategies. This paper demonstrates how expert opinion is used to generate a composite probability map for diamond concentration using a greyscale hand-sketching technique. The probability map is subsequently calibrated and populated using the diamond distribution for different raised beaches obtained from analog data based on sample results adjacent to the target area. The resultant grade simulation is used to test different sample scenarios and is a first step towards determining an appropriate sampling strategy for the target area. The VOB is used to analyse and rank the efficiency of different sampling strategies for grade determination of submerged diamondiferous linear beach exploration targets.
