Using fuzzy set theory,we develop a fuzzy universal kriging that we use to estimate quality classes for a quartz deposit. The method models the trend in the databy linearly combining functions that depend on the coordinates for each point, which are fuzzy numbers. The spatial dependence betweenthe data is determined by means of non-fuzzy covariograms. The proposed method provides fuzzy numbers and non-fuzzy variances atunsampled locations. Finally, the estimated fuzzy numbers are translated back into quartz qualities and graphically represented. From thegrade model obtained by using fuzzy kriging it has been possible to perform selective mining at the deposit depending on market demandof the four products exploited PB Universidad Nacional de Colombia SN 0012-7353 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10612/19234 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10612/19234 NO Saavedra González, A.; Ordóñez Galán, C.; Taboada Castro, J.; Giráldez Pérez, E.; Sierra Fernández, C.
