Kriging in SGeMS is very easily done in a matter of minutes (depending on data volume and methods used). It is a method of spatial (3D) interpolation of geological properties. This includes estimating mineral grades, porosity, or permeability at unsampled locations. We can create 2D and 3D models for resource estimation and map spatial variability. What distinguishes kriging from interpolation methods is that we can asses uncertainty.
