Simandl Method

The Simandl Method is a way of organizing the physical structure of a mineral deposit, particularly for underground mining. It involves dividing the deposit into a series of stacked, manageable units called "lode zones," which are grouped into larger "ore zones." This hierarchical layout helps miners and engineers plan extraction efficiently and safely by clearly mapping out where valuable minerals are located within the rock. Essentially, it provides a systematic framework to understand the deposit’s geometry and guide mining operations effectively.
