Abstract Models for massive Caledonian sulfide deposits, formed in island are and ocean floor environments, are defined in terms of their deposit size and grade distribution, as well as the relation between the total amount of sulfides that could be potentially concentrated and the amount likely to be found in the largest deposit. Given the mineral resource and geological attributes of the island are and ocean floor models, the similarity between the models and unknown areas with a potential for these types of sulfide concentrations can be evaluated. This similarity is expressed as a favorability index whose distribution is probabilistically combined with the metal distribution of the model.
