16 Computer Modeling

• 6 block models were created in 1997

• Ore zones are defined and modeled based onthe alteration, structure, grade and lithologicalassociation characteristics

• Laterite, saprolite, transition and hard rock limitswere also modeled in cross-sections

• 3D solids were created from cross-sections

• Block models were built from 3D solids

Page 17: Present a Tie Rosebel Gold Mines

17 Estimation Parameters

• Method: Inverse distance squared technique (ID2)

• 5-meter length composites (capped)

• Ellipsoids are oriented according to each ore zone’sorientation

• Geological contacts are treated as hard boundaries
