Introduction

Key drivers of value and risk in minerals projects are often
multivariate.

State of the art applications for stochastic models of these
variables are granular.

Various approaches for the simulation of multiple correlated
attributes are in industrial use.
    LMC, Stepwise Transform, MAF, Log Ratios.

Non-multi-Gaussian alternative proposed based upon the
Direct Sequential Simulation approach.
