To Foresee Defined
To foresee: to realize beforehand, to anticipate, to envision, to imagine possible.
The Confidence to Foresee
DGI’s 2-4C process is the latest innovation and best method available to bring quantifiable datasets such as physical rock properties, geochemistry/assay, geotechnical and geometallurgical results directly into workflow.
The 2-4C process can:
- Integrate non-visual components and supplement areas of poor core recovery
- Be applied as an unbiased QA/QC process for geologists
- Act as a means to statistically cluster smaller groups into reliable, valid main units
- Rationalize naming conventions project-wide quickly with definitive, quantifiable evidence
Statistically Robust
Due to the statistical robustness and the relationships built within the 2-4C process, datasets (acquired by DGI or quality assured/quality controlled (QA/QC) from other sources) can be used:
- To define the physical rock properties domains in parallel with core defined lithology
- To predict results (geochemistry/assay, geotechnical, etc…) from quantifiable parameters with a significant degree of confidence
- To build a proxy for physical rock properties on future or past drilling
- To fully leverage cost efficient drilling techniques like reverse circulation drilling (RC drilling) and percussion rotary air blast drilling (RAB drilling)
The 2-4C Process – Supporting the Model in Real Time
An exciting aspect of the 2-4C process is that as data is acquired and integrated, the capacity for supporting high resolution 3D modeling and constrained inversions improves. This positive feedback cycle provides an increasing statistical weight of evidence for greater decision-making confidence as the project evolves throughout the development process. In this way, the model is regularly revised, improved and integrated into workflow.
The 2-4C process leverages the full availability of quantifiable information at your disposal from disparate sources.
