Abstract

Inverse-distance weighting method is a simple, easy and understandable interpolation in many branches of earth sciences, and it is embedded in the mining software related to estimation, Efforts to enhance the accuracy and precision of this method can be applied to a wider and reliable interpolation process. In this paper, spatial structure of different elements from analysis of rock samples associated with a porphyry copper deposit is studied using variogram. A criterion based on variogram parameters is suggested for each element to calculate the distance power. In order to validate the method, inverse-distance weighting interpolation of the different elements and different values for the inverse-distance power is implemented (common values and calculated power), error percent and root mean square error of interpolation is calculated and analyzed. Interpolation is coded in MATLAB environment and the results for different elements are demonstrated and analyzed. Based on the results, the slope of the linear part spherical variogram is measured of the amount of inverse-distance power (a) so that the values for the elements with relatively continuous spatial structure equal common values of a (1, 2 and 3) and Inverse distance weighting method is applicable for these elements.
