In this paper, we aim to present a quantitative modeling for delineating the alteration zones and lithological units in the hypogene zone of Masjed-Daghi Cu-Au porphyry deposit (NW Iran) based on the drill core data. The main goal of this work is to apply Ordinary Kriging (OK) and concentration-volume (C-V) fractal model based on Cu grades in order to separate the different alteration zones and...

The ability to extract properties from 3D geological framework models for use in the construction of conceptual and mathematical models is seen as increasingly important, however, tools and techniques are needed to support such information flows. Developing such methodologies will maximize the opportunity for information use and re-use, this is particularly important as the true value of such a...

We present in this note an innovative software environment, called Interactive Ground Water (IGW), for unified deterministic and stochastic ground water modeling. Based on efficient computational algorithms, IGW allows simulating three-dimensional (3D) unsteady flow and transport in saturated media subject to systematic and "random" stresses and geological and chemical heterogeneity. Adopting a...

According to EuroGeoSurveys, the European Geological Surveys association, “Geological spatial data and models describe the solid Earth’s surface and subsurface on-shore and off-shore, its nature, structure, properties, dynamics and evolution over time; including its related (geo)resources and (geo) hazards”. This illustrates a modern vision of the core mission that National Geological Surveys h...

This paper is addressed to the TOUGH2 user community. It presents a new tool for handling simulations run with the TOUGH2 code with specific application to CO2 geological storage. This tool is composed of separate FORTRAN subroutines (or modules) that can be run independently using input and output files in ASCII format for TOUGH2. These modules have been developed specifically for modeling of ...

Three-dimensional (3D) geological property modeling is used to quantitatively characterize various attributes in 3D space based on geostatistics with the help of computer visualization technology, and results are often stored grid data. The includes two main components, model generation interpolation. In this review article, existing methods systematically investigated, both traditional multipl...

Deep-seated mineralization prediction is an important scientific problem in the area of mineral resources exploration. The 3D metallogenic information extraction geology and geochemistry can be great help. This study uses modeling technology to intuitively depict spatial distribution orebodies, fractures, intrusive rocks. In particular, geochemical models 12 elements are established for extract...
