The incremental ore theory would be useful to engineers who have to make a cut off for an estimated resource of an undeveloped property but can you imagine if this was used for an operating mine? The Ore Control Staff would not only have to go out and flag the shot muck based on the daily NSR but I am pretty sure they’d also have to defend what they did over and over again to critics up the ladder on a daily basis.

Let’s say we allow real-time technology into the exploration and development side of mining and keep a more static model (based on short term and long term planning) in an operating facility.

Outside of the one geostatistician, I haven’t heard too much input as to this idea but I also realize it may be too technical at this point in time for a more general audience. You are the person I was trying to communicate with when I wrote this blog. Thanks for your contribution.
