Mining software visualising techniques: exploration and 3D
Being able to visualise mining data is a huge benefit to mining operations. Not only does it help geologists and mine planners make more informed decisions but visual presentations can also be shown to key decision makers or financial investors to convince them to invest in the operation.
MICROMINE’s exploration and 3D mine design solution, Micromine, provides users with an in-depth understanding of their projects which increases the likelihood of that project’s success. Using the visualising techniques in Micromine allows users to generate models and are a valuable tool for presenting grade or geological interpretations.
Micromine’s exploration module includes visualisation tools for users involved in advanced resource estimation projects. The tools in the exploration module extend the capabilities of Vizex, a visual environment for displaying multiple data layers. These tools effortlessly display advanced drillhole and grade data, providing a greater understanding of the targeted resources.
Mining software visualising techniques: implicit modeller
Using Micromine’s implicit modeller enables users to generate 3D models of grade shells, faults and surfaces. The generated wireframes are then displayed in Vizex and are a valuable visualising technique for finalising geological interpretations. The powerful functionality of the implicit modeller allows for the quick visualisation of 3D surfaces and solids without having to spend days on traditional wireframing workflow. With the time visualising techniques like implicit modelling save, it’s no surprise to see more people utilise similar methods.
With the visualising techniques available in Micromine, mine planners and geologists are able to easily display data and 3D models. With more accurate and detailed models, better decisions can be made that increase the likelihood of an operation’s success.
