This article presents a method to construct a three-dimensional (3D) block within units whose spatial characteristics are similar to those of a uranium roll-front deposit. In order to mimic the particular uranium roll-front deposits, a specific stochastic model has been developed, using some geostatistical simulation concepts. They refer to the well-established PluriGaussian Simulation model which has been rephrased in order to produce the specific ore body shapes.
