Geology Images and the Geological Drillhole Database
Stepping through the drillholes section by section, orebody polygons are created quickly and accurately. At any time a single drillhole can be examined in detail. Codes and descriptions can be edited and, once checked, can be saved directly to the database.
All modeling work is conducted in real world coordinates, and models are fully integrated within the 3D graphics environment. This means that solids and block models can be viewed or sectioned together with drillholes to visually check the integrity of models with the original data from which they were derived.
Surpac's block modelling tools are unrivaled for their ease of creation, and constraining to show the blocks within the zone of interest. Flexible block model reported means that a resource grade and tonnage report can be generated, broken down by bench and grade within each bench in a single step.
Blocks may be colored by grade or quality and viewed together with drillholes and solids.
As you step through the drillholes sections, sections of your solids and block models may be automatically generated and presented to allow visual verification of model integrity, against the original data against which the models were derived.
This is a view of a single section with the geology shown along the drillhole trace, the assay values, and a line graph of the assay. Block model blocks can be view in outline mode of colour filled.
Time dependent data may also be stored and retrieved from the database. This image shows the contoured average water level within the month from which the data was requested.
