We are happy to announce that Mr. Ilyas Ongarbayev and Mr. Sultan Abulkhair virtually attended the APCOM 2021 conference, which was held from 30th August to September 1st in Johannesburg, South Africa. Applications for Computers and Operations Research in the Minerals Industries (APCOM) is a series of well-established, high-quality scientific conferences in Mining Engineering, which was started in the early 1960’s. In this conference, the SMG students presented results from their thesis research under the supervision of Dr. Nasser Madani, faculty member of the School of Mining and Geosciences. Ilyas is a 2nd year master student of Mining Engineering, and Sultan is a master graduate from the class of 2021 in Mining Engineering. Both have been developing geostatistical algorithms for better mineral resource modelling. Their conference papers were subjected to peer-review, and the full-length articles have been published in the conference proceedings:
