17.4 Compositing
For Kupol, down-hole 1.0 m composites were created from the assay file. A new
composite was started at the interpreted vein, stockwork, dyke, fault and basalt
contacts as controlled by the wireframe models. Less than full length composites at the
footwall contact of each lithology were re-distributed across the other composites
within that vein or stockwork unit.
17.5 Kupol Block Model
Separate block models were built for Kupol Main and Vtoryi II to better represent the
different vein geometries and orientations. Kupol Main strikes north-south, dipping
steeply to the east, and Vtoryi II strikes approximately 325o dipping 55° to 70°
southwest. The southern end of Kupol is about 100 m east of Vtoryi II.
