Leapfrog EDGE

Masterclass: Geologically
Driven Resource
Estimation
The course is designed as an introduction to Leapfrog EDGE for use
in resource estimation studies.The course carefully combines the
latest estimation software from Seequent with SRK's worldwide
experience and knowledge in developing robust estimates.

Leapfrog EDGE is a new resource estimation


solution developed by Seequent (previously
ARANZ Geo). Leapfrog EDGE allows resource
estimates to be completed in an intuitive and
highly visual 3D environment with easy to
follow workflows.

MASTERCLASS FORMAT

The Masterclass will include a series of theoretical


presentations and discussions on the key aspects of
estimation eg. QA-QC, statistical data analysis,
domaining, grade capping, variography, QKNA,
estimation, validation and classification. These subjects WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
will be interspersed with real world examples using
Leapfrog EDGE with the final aim of producing a The course is designed primarily for mining and
validated, classified and robust resource estimate. resource geologists who are already involved in
developing resource estimates and wish to learn about
Topics discussed: estimation, using Leapfrog EDGE.
• Importance of geology in all aspects of resource
estimation and domaining No previous experience in this software is required but a
• Importance of QA-QC of data background in resource estimation using other 3D
• Exploratory data analysis modelling software is preferred, though not essential.
• Variogram selection and fitting
• Estimation strategies and methods ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• Block model validation
• Classification strategies Leapfrog EDGE software will be used for the practical
sessions. Please bring your own laptop (with a 3D
graphics card installed). All training software and
licenses will be provided.

The course is not an advanced geostatistics course,


though the fundamentals of a geostatistical approach to
estimation will be taught.
