Abstract
A geometallurgical model allows to predict parameters relevant for mineral beneficiation in a spatial domain. Therefore, we need a basic understanding of the geolocial architecture which can be provided by 3D geological models. Additionally, a tailored sample selection and characterization is crucial. This may include drill core logging data, whole rock geochemistry, modal mineralogies, micro-textures and mineral association as well as mineral chemistry data. In a next step, it is necessary to integrate the data into a spatial context and to derive process-relevant paramters. Finally, the development of domains with similar mineral beneficiation characteristics as well as geostatistical interpolation of relevant parameters onto a 3D geometry is possible.
