Abstract
A model is needed to estimate the distribution of selection blocks (and then the recoverable reserves) from the distribution of samples. Four models (gaussian, gamma, negative binomial, mosaic) have been tested on skewly distributed uranium data. They gave satisfactory results for the global estimates of the recoverable reserves. The slight differences between the models were due to the differences between the hypotheses for the four models.
