Abstarct: In ore deposits, detecting the grades that are in the right tail of the distribution
are economically important. As a result, detecting the cutoff of these observations
is important in mining industry extraction. Existing methods for detecting spatial
outlier indentify the outlier values but do not provide criteria for identifying cutoff
for high values. Hence, in this thesis, Top-Cut method is suggested to identify
the cutoff for high values which is baxsed on absence of edge effect. In the absence
of edge effect, highe values have no influence from lower grades. In this method,
ratio of the indicator cross variogram and indicator variogram in each suggested
cutoff is calculated and if this ratio is constant, in terms of function of distances,
it shows absence of edge effect. Also if the variogram of the residual indicator for
suggested cutoff shows pure nugget effect, then the suggested cutoff is chosen for
topcut grade. Evaluation of these methods and some outlier detection methods
has been carried out in a simulation study. Moreover as a real case study, this
method has been used to determine the cutoff of high-grade of Sari-Gunay deposit
in Kordestan province, Iran. We found that the value 4.63 ppm as the cutoff for
high-grade of Sari-Gunay deposit.
