heal.abstract	Work was undertaken to develop, by means of geostatistical modelling, a correlation between acid mine drainage and the spatial distribution of net neutralization potential (NNP) values of the geological formations in a polymetallic sulphide mine. The Stratonion mines, Macedonia, Greece, were used for the case study. A three-dimensional stochastic numerical model of the distribution of NNP values in the wider mine area was developed. The model predicts the location of underground areas that have strong potential for acid drainage generation. The now rate and quality of underground water streams in the mine were monitored for a two-year period and the water quality data were used to validate the model. The agreement was found to be very good.	en
