B E D G BRISBANE EXPLORATION DISCUSSION GROUP

Notice of Meeting

“Using uncertainty in the Mineral Discovery Process to assess exploration risk”

The mineral discovery process is a multi-phase decision making process. It deals with the investment of exploration capital into a potential asset, the undiscovered ore deposit. Exploration risk is the potential loss of this capital. It can be assessed by modelling the uncertainty in the NPV of undiscovered deposits within a prospective terrain. To do this, processes such as Monte Carlo simulation are required to integrate geological and economic uncertainty.
