Geostatistical methods are frequently used in the geochemical evaluation
of mineral deposits. Geostatistical methods are preferred by researchers for
reasons such as less error rates than traditional methods and being based on
precise results. The most commonly used geostatistical methods are as follows:
means, measures of variability, classification, regression and correlation analysis,
analysis of variance, correlation function (variogram), estimation error variance,
kriging and simulation. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance
of geostatistical methods in the evaluation of geochemical analyzes during the
exploration and operation of mineral deposits. It is within the scope of the
study to highlight the details of the multivariate data analysis, which is mostly
preferred for geochemical analyzes containing large numbers of data, with examples in the literature. The error rates of traditional geometric methods such
as polygon, triangle and section used in the calculation of reserve and grade of
mineral deposits are higher than the error rates of the values calculated using
geostatistical methods. In this respect, it is suggested as a result of the study
that researchers who will work on the evaluation of mineral deposits should first
turn to geostatistical methods.
