Emerging technologies need to be established as best practice for future generations. !! No other book is available that integrates aspects of orebody uncertainty and the need for a stochastic approach to mine scheduling. Modern resource companies like Rio Tinto fully endorse developments in this field, and we congratulate Prof Dimitrakopoulos on this ground-breaking work Peter Ravenscroft, General Manager, Rio Tinto We [at BHP Billiton] believe that this book is unique, fills a technology transfer gap and elucidates a new generation of technologies dealing with quantitative risk analysis in ore reserves, mine design and mining project evaluation. We recognize the critical need for new technologies ! allowing us to manage risk effectively and to our benefit. The author is considered the leading international expert in the field. Gavin Yeates, Resource Evaluation Manager, BHP Billiton Emerging technologies need to be established as best practice for future generations. !! No other book is available that integrates aspects of orebody uncertainty and the need for a stochastic approach to mine scheduling ! an important step in advancing further developments in this field. Peter J. Ravenscroft, General Manager, Rio Tinto Technical Services Prof Dimitrakopoulos' practical approach in applying solutions to ore reserve and mining related problems will ensure that the book will appeal to a wide audience. It contains both the theory as well as easily understood applications of the techniques, demonstrated through examples from actual mining operations. Duncan Campbell, Vice President, Mineral Resource Evaluation, AngloAmerican This book ! detailing stochastic methods and their application to quantifying technical risk and uncertainties associated with ore reserves and mine strategic planning) ! will assists in establishing best practice standards to both the DeBeers Group and the diamond industry as a whole. Dr. Wyand J. Kleingeld, Group Manager Mineral Resources, De Beers Group The research Prof Dimitrakopoulos has conducted and methods generated from it show how future mine design, production scheduling and cash flow can all be improved by using the new technologies being development and practiced. We [at CVRD] believe that it is essential for us to integrate and prioritize these techniques if we want to survive in an increasingly competitive market. Edson S.C. Ribeiro, General Manager, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce(CVRD) !.Prof Dimitrakopoulos is in an excellent, perhaps unique position to produce a book of significance and long-lasting stature within the mining industry. He enjoys an excellent reputation as an expert in the field and has made many significant contributions to the technical literature. Peter Forrestal, General Manager, Technical Development, Xstrata Group ! Practical teaching material, such as this book, is vital to develop our skills base. There is a clear need for a practical reference work for the industry practitioner that can also stand its own ground as a state-of-the-art book for the research community. In my opinion this book can serve this purpose and shifts the paradigm in the field. Michael F. O'Brien, Manager, Evaluation, AngloGold
