I am trying to start a new paper conference research and apply new thecniques of Stochastic mine planning optimization, however I dont have rights from a mine company or a public Diamond Drillholes Database to execute a Geostatistic Conditional Simulation (e.g. SGS or MAFSIM). If someone can help me to sign a confidentiallity agreetment or get some old public data, it would be awesome to develope my next research.
Thank you!

I can point you towards a complete drill hole database that is publicly available in Western Australia - from a nickel laterite deposit. The data is available on the WAMEX database - look for a project named Marshall Pool report A58926. In the appendices you will find four PDF files of drill logs and assays for 1549 drill holes that have been assayed for 11 analytes. The main issue you will face is that all the drill hole logs will be in PDF format and you will have to extract the data from these files PDF files - which you can do with a little help from R software (I'm yet to test this).
Hi Mark Murphy , I would be honored to work with that data, especially since I am working right now at a Lateritic nickel mine. The pdf format is not a problem at all, I think that using python I could stract the tables. Please send me a direct message with the info or the link to download the files. Best, Jose.
Jose you will have to access the WAMEX web site http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/WAMEX-Minerals-Exploration-1476.aspx (which only seems to work using internet explorer.) You should then search for the Marshall Pool project and the zip files associated with the report. If you have issue let me know and I can send the PDFs but you would need to give me an email address.
