DENİZLİ-TAVAS-ULUKENT MANGANEZ AÇIK İŞLETMESİNİN JEOİSTATİSTİK YÖNTEMLE REZERV-TENÖR İLİŞKİSİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

In this study, ore reserve of Denizli-Tavas-Ulukent open pit mine is determined using statistical and geostatistical methods and reserve-grade relation of the orebody is investigated. Thickness and different grades obtained from drillholes are investigated statistically and detailed variogram analysis are made. Using kriging, the distributions of grades in the field are determined and total reserve of the mine is calculated. Grade distributions with 1% Mn interval is investigated and the results of the reserve quantities in each grade level are calculated and given graphically. As a result, the cut-off grade is determined to be 32% Mn and the reserve above and under this grade are calculated as 3 428 303 ton and 3 494 411 ton respectively, giving the total reserve of 6 922 714 of the mine
