Quantum Chemistry as a Tool to Solve the Challenges of Mineral Processing
August 23, 2023In this YouTube episode, featuring Dr. Behnam Sadeghi, we explore Uncertainty Quantification and Modeling, a crucial topic in mineral exploration. Dr. Sadeghi discusses applying diverse methods, such as kriging, geostatistics, and machine learning, to interpret geological data for mineral concentration. He highlights the challenge of translating complex mathematical models into visual insights and the significance of embracing uncertainty. The goal is to create probabilistic maps using techniques like Gaussian Processes, considering sampling uncertainties and interpolation errors. This approach aids informed decision-making in exploration, accounting for various complexities and variables, leading to more comprehensive models for mineral potential assessment.
