10 SEG NEWSLETTER No 90 • JULY 2012 Modeling Structural Evolution to Improve 3D Models for Exploration and Mine Development October 25–26, 2012 SEG Headquarters Course Center, Littleton, Colorado, USA This 2-day course is designed for Geologists in Mineral Exploration and Resource Development and their Managers who want to minimize geological risk and optimize the use of regional and mine-scale geological models. The course is particularly useful for people working with structurally controlled deposits and/or deposits that have been deformed. Topics covered during the two days: • Philosophy of modeling structural evolution: 3D plus time. • Risk from prior knowledge, the use of uncertainty concepts. • Overview of structural styles illustrated using selected mineralization systems and the role of mechanical stratigraphy, in extensional, contractional and strike-slip settings. • Principles of structural modeling and validation: key tests. • The big picture: constraints from geological context and regional structural history. • Validating the fault framework, fault shapes and crosscutting relationships and identifying connected pathways. • Linking igneous emplacement to faultassisted space making mechanisms. • Sequential restoration of folds, fault offsets and igneous intrusions in section. • Constructing fault shape from surface data. • Quantifying strain through time for geological fracture modeling, modeling block-size distribution. • Case studies include the Bingham Canyon Mine Cu-Mo-Au porphyry and skarn deposit.
