Abstract
Quartzite which is used in glass industry as raw material includes useful and harmful components. Grades of SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) the useful component and Fe2O3 (Iron (III) Oxide) the harmful component effect the product quality significantly due to the method of glass production. Furthermore, it's necessary to determine grade distribution of quartzite ore body, to gain optimum benefit from the ore body that assessed by quality distribution. It is required that to mix high grade and low grade ore bodies together to get optimum quality standards. In this study, quality of quartzite ore body located at Istanbul Yalikoy Region is determined by geostatistical methods. 303 production blocks are investigated and reserve of ore is calculated as 3.560.400 tonnes. 82 borehole data compared with this study results which is estimated by using geostatistical methods.
