Geometallurgical Simulation of the Work Index in a Porphyry Copper Deposit Using Geostatistical Techniques
Resumen
The spatial variability in the geometallurgical attributes of the deposits is a crucial parameter from the exploration stage, which conditions and influences the mineral processing. Consequently, the objective of this research is to elaborate the geometallurgical simulation of the Bond Work Index for a porphyry copper deposit. For this purpose, information of primary and response attributes corresponding to ore zones, lithologies and BWi contained in 1,449 samples of exploratory drill holes were used. An exploratory data analysis of this information was carried out, and geometallurgical units were defined based on the geological and processing knowledge that validates the behavior of each one of them within the deposit; then Sequential Gaussian Simulation was applied, running 100 realizations in each GMU, those that best reproduce the statistics of the original samples were chosen. The results show that the lithology of the deposit controls the BWi variability and according to the rock competence the ore zones are classified from the softest to the hardest in oxides, mixed and sulfides.
