ABSTRACT
Modelling of mineral deposits is directed at the creation of a generalized image containing the basic characteristics of natural objects in non-conflicting combinations. The transition from the natural object to a model includes an inevitable simplification; however possibilities for comparison of any concrete deposit with corresponding model must be maintained. The signatures of model types should agree with the task to be solved. Signatures for a model depends entirely on the purpose of the model; therefore various characteristics that are unnecessary for the model are excluded. Composite models, for instance, genetic models may include sub-models that contain basic genetic factors and other parameters.
