Annotation The information about the generally accepted methods of modeling mineral deposits into a step-by-step methodology is systematized in the article. The method of modeling the geological structure of ore deposits of minerals in the mining and geological information system Micromine based on geological exploration data is considered step by step. As a result of the modeling process, the specialist receives a block model of the mineral. The most common way of interpreting an ore body based on geological profiles is covered gradually. The article describes the algorithm for constructing a geological model, which includes importing data into the Micromine GIS environment, and their visualization in gradual mode: creating a database of exploration wells, displaying their mouths and trajectories, and selecting ore intervals in accordance with the requirements of the State Commission on reserves. The obtained ore intervals are used for interpreting data on vertical sections, combining contours of ore bodies and building their frame models, as well as creating an empty block model and interpolating laboratory testing data into it. The authors do not consider the method of modeling coal deposits and the method of conditional modeling. Suggestions are made on the subject of future research in terms of describing methods for modeling reservoir deposits and conditional modeling
Key words mathematical, mining and geological modeling, interpretation of geological data, mining and geological information systems, block model, frame model, ore body, exploration well, resource modeling, ore deposit
