Abstract
This case-study presents two independent estimates of the grades and the gamma logs for a uranium deposit. The grade-gamma log scatter diagram for the samples is compared to that obtained for the kriged block estimates. This example shows the importance of a quantity which has no physical meaning: the kriged block average of the gamma logs. Even though the conditions in this study are exceptionally favourable, it was not possible to establish a general rule as to when to perform the gamma log-grade transformation.
