- W3100866997 abstract "The third part of three-part assessments is the estimate of some fixed but unknown number of deposits of each type that exist in the delineated tracts. Until the area being considered is thoroughly and extensively drilled, this fixed number of undiscovered deposits, which could be any number including 0, will not be known with certainty. This number of deposits has meaning only in terms of a grade-and-tonnage model. If this requirement did not exist, any wisp of minerals could be considered worthy of estimation, and even in small regions, we would need to estimate millions of “deposits.” For example, it is not difficult to imagine tens of thousands of fist-sized skarn copper “deposits” in parts of western United States—even in this example, we have used “deposit” size to provide important information. In another example, Wilson et al. (1996) estimated five or more epithermal gold vein deposits at the 90 percent level but provided no grade-and-tonnage model, so these estimated deposits could be any size. To provide critical information to decision-makers, the grade-and-tonnage model is key, and the estimated number of deposits that might exist must be from the grade-and-tonnage frequency distributions. In three-part assessments, the parts and estimates are internally consistent in that delineated tracts are consistent with descriptive models, grade-and-tonnage models are consistent with descriptive models and with known deposits in the area, and estimates of number of deposits are consistent with grade-and-tonnage models. Considerable care must be exercised in quantitative resource assessments to prevent the introduction of biased estimates of undiscovered resources. Biases can be introduced into these estimates either by a flawed grade-and-tonnage model or by the lack of consistency of the grade-and-tonnage model with the number-of-deposit estimates. For this reason, consistency of estimates of number of deposits with the grade-and-tonnage models is the most important guideline. Issues about consistency of mineral deposit models are discussed in chapters 3 through 6. Grade-and-tonnage models (chapter 6), which are the first part of three-part assessments, are of particular concern. In this chapter, the focus is on making unbiased estimates of the number of undiscovered deposits." @default.
