courses > effective, proven geostatistics training

Quantitative Group (QG) provide specialised training in geostatistics, resource estimation, risk analysis and management, grade control and sampling. QG's training is designed to transfer skills and concepts to participants, to be interesting and topical, to connect with professionals by being relevant and to be scientifically sound. QG staff have run over 150 training programs both in-house and as public courses.

2008 Professional Development Training in Sampling, Resource Estimation and Reconciliation

QG are pleased to announce a new series of courses in sampling, geostatistics and reconciliation. These programs will run in 2008 in Perth, Western Australia. The program consists of three independent modules, and you can register for any or all of these. Full details of the three courses can be found in these pdfs:


Sampling and Quality Management of Resource Data for Geologists    pdf (28 Kb)
Applied Geostatistics, Resource Estimation and Business Risk Implications    pdf (27 Kb)
Reconciliation as a Business Tool    pdf (27 Kb)

The program will consist of three independent modules, and you can register for any or all of these. Registering on all 5 days will attract a 10% discount.

Registration fees cover course materials, refreshments and lunches. Note that GST is not payable for those being invoiced outside of Australia.

Note that the five day program, taken as a whole, provides an excellent professional development course in resource estimation: from sampling through to reconciliation, and would be well matched to those working in resource estimation/definition, operational mine geology, grade control or technical management.

In-house training

QG courses and seminars are run in house. The advantages of in-house training are appreciable:

  • Save money on course fees (flat "per-course" fee).

  • A site/company specific case study can be prepared.

  • Facilitate team focus and discussions on site.

  • Detailed discussions of site/company issues can be held without compromising confidentiality.
Contact QG for a proposal to run on site training.
