The Luang Prabang (Laos)–Loei (Thailand) metallogenic belt is located on the northwestern margin of the Indochina Block. It is one of the most important gold–copper metallogenic belts in Southeast Asia. This region underwent tectonic and magmatic evolution in the late Paleozoic-Mesozoic period within the Paleo-Tethys realm, resulting in complex metallogenic processes. Consequently, epitherm…
Geostatistical cascade modeling of Mineral Resources is challenging in vein-type gold deposits. The narrow shape and long-range features of these auriferous veins, coupled with the paucity of drill-hole data, can complicate the modeling process and make the use of two-point geostatistical algorithms impractical. Instead, multiple-point geostatistics techniques can be a suitable alternative. How…
