Triangular variation of the polygonal approach is more conservative than the assignment of single

values to large block: triangular prism are definedon a two dimensional projection (e.g., bench plan)
by joining three sample sites such that the resulting triangle contains no internal sample sites. The
construction of the triangles may use “ Delaunay triangulatin”. The precursor to Voronoi tessellation
( section). The average of the three values at the apices of a triangle is assigned to the triangular
prism (block). The principal advantage is that some smoothing is in corporated in the estimates of
individual prism; thus,estimation of the tail of the grade density distribution is more conservative
than is the case with the tradisional polygonal approach
