Abstract
This chapter discusses the basic principles of the wireframing of the mineralised bodies and explains methods of the geological analysis. A particular emphasis is made on characterisation of the geological contacts, structural analysis of mineralisation and definition of the cut-off values for construction of the wireframes.
