Borehole spacing optimisation is a tricky job in mineral exploration even in case of regular grids. As we progress from reconnaitory to exploratory to evaluation stages of drilling, we collect data on 3D space.

Does geostatistics help us in the optimisation of the number of boreholes in each stages of exploration?

Can we derive the optimum borehole spacing from the x-axis of the semi-variogram ?

Please share relevant publications in this regard.

Thank you
