Variograms are computed using Sage2001
variogram software in the trend-flattened
coordinate space. Plan view is equivalent to a
longitudinal section oriented parallel to the trend
of mineralized zones. “Vertical” variograms are
oriented perpendicular to the trend.

Variograms for FMR in the high-grade OreZONE are unusual compared to the
variograms for OreZONE and TREO. First, the principal axis for the FMR is rotated
60 degrees, so that it is almost perpendicular to that for OreZONE and TREO.
Second, the continuity of the experimental variogram in the secondary direction is
very poor. It is noted that the poor continuity is limited to experimental variograms at
azimuths of 120° and 150°, and that the experimental variograms are otherwise
nearly isotropic and are well-fitted by the model variograms. Additional study is
needed to explain the poor continuity on the secondary axis.
