The basis of accurate mineral resource estimates is to have a geological model which replicates the nature and style orebody. Key inputs into generation good are sample data mapping information. Obuasi Mine with lot legacy issues were subjected robust validation process integrated information generate an orebody for estimation in Block 8 Lower. Validation focused on replacing missing collar coo...
