Author:Debba, PraveshDate:Oct 2008A presentation was done at the Chinese Academy of Geological Science in October 2008 on optimal field sampling for both exploration targets and sampling for geochemicals in mine tailing areasRead more
Author:Debba, Pravesh; Carranza, EJM; Stein, A; Van der Meer, FDDate:Aug 2009This research discusses a novice method for sampling geochemicals to characterize mine tailings. Researchers model the spatial relationships between a multi-element signature and abundance estimates of secondary iron-bearing minerals in mine ...Read more
Author:Debba, PraveshDate:Jul 2009This study demonstrates that designing sampling schemes using simulated annealing results in much better selection of samples from an existing scheme in terms of prediction accuracy. The presentation to the SASA Eastern Cape Chapter as an ...Read more
