Presenter: Dr. Abani R. Samal, Ph.D., AIPG Certified Professional Geologist 11143
Construction of a computerized model to estimate mineral resources is a common practice in mineral exploration projects and mining operations. Many times a technical report is the done as per international reporting standards such as NI-43-101 or JORC to meet requirement of certain stock exchanges in the world. In all these standards there are certain minimum suggested requirements that have to be met for reporting mineral resources and reserves. The standards are not and cannot be prescriptive. However, irrespective of standards of reporting it is important that the mineral resource estimation be done following "the best practices" in this area. This is to ensure that the resource estimation is reliable and based on valid parameters.
This webinar will highlight the best practice followed in mineral resource assessment by many mining companies in order to get the best predictable resource estimation of a mineral deposit. The topics include data-collection, storage and ownership, geological modeling, drill hole data analyses (compositing, capping / high grade data analyses), application of geostatistics, grade estimation, resource classification and reporting. With some real but anonymous examples the topics will be explained.
AIPG accredited — 1 hour webinar = 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) or .1 CEUs.
Live webinar prices:
- $60 for AIPG CPG Members
- $75 for AIPG Members
- $90 for Non-Members
- $20 for Students

The presentations at this workshop will focus on how to identify risk management remedies ranging from aggressive removal to long term exposure maintenance, what are the right questions to ask, and how to collect the data to answer those questions. This workshop will provide the same thought provoking, high quality technical presentations and discussions that have come to be expected of the AIPG Michigan Section's annual workshop. As professionals working in the environmental in-dustry, we make decisions regarding potential and real exposures daily using tools developed from the latest advances in science and technology, statutory requirements and professional experience.

The rapid pace of global change has large impacts on nature, and on the work conservation biologists will have before them, too. From here on out, experts say, the fossil record is going to be critical to guide nature into the future. A new paper in the journal Science contends that rather than holding ecosystems to an idealized past, preserving and maintaining vibrant ecosystems requires new approaches. That includes using Earth's history to help understand how ecological resilience is maintained even in the face of change.

The striking north face of the Bernese Alps is the result of a steep rise of rocks from the depths following a collision of two tectonic plates. This steep rise gives new insight into the final stage of mountain building and provides important knowledge with regard to active natural hazards and geothermal energy. The results from researchers at the University of Bern and ETH Zürich are being published in Scientific Reports.

Another volcano in Alaska's Aleutian Islands is showing signs of unrest.
Bogoslof Volcano has been erupting periodically since mid-December.
On March 24, the Alaska Volcano Observatory detected a small explosion at Cleveland Volcano. Geologists say the event at 8:15 a.m. did not last long and was similar to or smaller than other explosions at Cleveland Volcano.

New research suggests the sand grains on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, behave similar to the packing peanuts used in shipping boxes.
Lab experiments suggest the granules become electrically charged and clump together, resisting motion as they attach themselves to other hydrocarbons.
The sand grains become charged as they're excited by strong winds and hop along the surface — a phenomenon known as saltation.

A recent publication made by scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, in the journal of Earth and Planetary Science Letters, indicates that the Arsia Mons volcano of Mars became dormant around the same time when Earth was going through the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction phase, the event that caused the extinction of dinosaurs.

Satellite images have revealed more than 200 strange, bright blue lakes in Russia's Arctic regions that are bubbling "like jacuzzis" as a result of leaking methane gas. The lakes are a type of thermokarst lake, which form when thawing permafrost causes the surface to collapse and fill in with meltwater. But unlike normal, dark thermokarst lakes, these are bright blue and bubbling, because of methane that's leaking into them before escaping into the atmosphere.
