Session 5

Efficient technologies for forecasting and exploration of mineral deposits

Given the vast areas of Kazakhstan, the effectiveness of geological forecasting and exploration largely depends on the use of advanced technologies, comprehensive analysis and the high competence of specialists. In Kazakhstan, a course has been taken to modernise the geological industry using innovative exploration methods. Modernisation of the industry is critically important for improving the quality of valuation of prospective areas and determining the best methods for their development and production. 

• Modernisation of industry practices to improve the quality of mine valuation.
• Development of technologies that allow real-time collection, processing and analysis of geological survey data.
• Automation of routine manual work to improve quality and speed up processes.
• Creation of continuous chains from the digital core, geological research data, seismic exploration, and regional and basin modelling to digital geological models.
• Automating updates of geological models based on constantly incoming new data.
• Application of Big Data and Data Mining technologies to improve the accuracy of planning and the speed of decision-making.
• Improving the quality of field assessment and determining the best methods for their development and operation.
• Computer simulation of drilling and blasting parameters to increase the profitability of production.
