Evaluation of the Çöllolar sector of Afşin-Elbistan lignite field by the Netpro/Mine computer program

Mining is a high risk activity. To make optimum management plans of an ore deposit first the ore deposit must be modeled at the right way. Nowadays there are computer softwares which can make models with use of different techniques. One of these softwares is the national resource and the new developed computer program Netpro/Mine. In this study, the Netpro/Mine program is introduced in the Çöllolar area which belongs to the lignite basin of Afşin-Elbistan and is one of the most important lignite reserves of our county.This study is including the presentation of the computer program, the jeostatistical evaluation of an ore deposit with using of a lignite area data and a computer program, the three dimension design of a deposit, to be forming a block model and the detailed reserve calculations.
