The evolution of earth modelling
The high-tech earth modelling we love today started with a little gold (a filament to be exact) and the spirit of exploration.
Why implicit modelling?
Geology is a science rather than an engineering discipline because it models the real world instead of building structures.
Reducing geological risk
Geologic risk is the subjective measure of the willingness of the modeller to put all their eggs in one basket.
Role models
Adapted from the medical industry, the increasing speed and flexibility of implicit modelling software have made it a powerful decision-making tool for geologists.
Can implicit methods be used to model complex geology?
How Votorantim used Leapfrog to model a complex nickel deposit
Rapid visualisation and modelling of geological data
The rapid development of a 3D model has been a goal in MMG’s exploration programs to speed up decision making.
Validating an implicit model
Implicit modelling was first made well known by Leapfrog, now more have picked up the process.
The future of geological modelling
One of the biggest gaps in mining-industry geoscience is between our understanding of ore deposit formation and application in resource estimation.
