Micromine Origin Modules
Core
- Fast and flexible import, export, verification, processing, display and interpretation of a variety of a wide range of drill hole and surface data
- Multi-window interface for displaying any number of graphical or tabular windows, dynamic workspace and сustomisable toolbars
- Automate Daily Tasks and Workflows via Python scripts or Micromine Macros
- Design report drawings with built-in metadata substitutions using Plot Editor, create video and 3D stereo view
- Manage sessions and layer sequences, save the settings on any dialog as a ‘form set’ and instantly recall them for later use
Exploration
- Integrate and correlate an extensive array of data, including vector, imagery, point, geophysical, structural and drillhole data
- Statistical reporting and charting with interactive data syncing, selection and analysis modes including: histogram, Box-and-whisker and Q-Q plots, Scattergram, Multi-purpose chart, Shewhart Control and Cumulative Sum charts for assay quality control, Spider graph, Semi-variogram map and semi-variogram charts for geostatistical modelling and Stereonet diagram
- Use interactive tools for easy geostatistical modelling: dynamically refine a variogram map or semi-variogram chart, align Vizex to the variogram map for better understanding of anisotropy, and fit multi-component theoretical semi-variograms, in just seconds
- Comprehensive and dynamic tools to design drillholes and plan smart drilling campaigns, including tools for logging, data entry, reporting, calculations, compositing and file management
Wireframing
- Geological modelling of surfaces (contacts, faults), wireframes (lithological units and domains) using geological logging, survey, structural measurements, etc.
- A centralised management area for wireframe types and their attributes, including creating new types and copying or moving wireframes between types
- Interactive wireframe edit and transform using special operations, including crosscut, buffering, cut, separate, copy/move etc.
- Use tools for interacting wireframes with other data such as block models, 3D points, or drill holes, make it easy to label points as falling inside or outside a 3D solid and assigning values from 3D points to wireframes
- Rapid wireframe grade/tonnage reporting using point, drillhole, or block model source data
- An intuitive interactive wireframe editor simplifies the construction and editing of simple or complex wireframes, including building, auto-building, closing, on-the-fly wireframe validating; working with individual triangles and vertices
Implicit Modelling
- Implicitly model using radial basis functions with support for grade, indicator, lithology, fault, attribute based on a combination of strings, points and structural trends reflecting geological data
- Model complex geological settings with no overlap, producing consistent results, and eliminating the need for manual adjustments
- Modelling of 3D surfaces for quickly and accurately creating fault planes, rock contacts or surface topography
- Create multiple grade shells and lithological models directly from drillhole data.
- Attribute modelling output points created from another implicit model, or any 3D points with positive and negative attribute values.
- Point cloud modelling create 3D surfaces from point cloud data and Sparse surface points modelling create smooth surfaces from a limited number of 3D points
Resource Estimation
- Import/export compatibility with Surpac, Datamine and Vulcan simplifies the use of third-party block models
- Support for both regular and sub-blocked models with converting options for sharing data with other applications
- Block model tools make it easy to combine, re-block, rotate, combine, optimise and flatten different models for the same project
- Choose the most appropriate interpolation method – inverse distance method, simple, ordinary, rank or multiple indicator kriging, to best reflect the local grade distribution
- Advanced set of resource model validation functions, such as cross-checking, QKNA, etc. to ensure reliable resources
- Use block axis rotation and ellipse search, structural trending, and dynamic search to ensure the best fit for the geology
- Use block model reporting by various constraints such as cut-off grade, ore type, category, etc. to comprehensively estimation the resource potential of a project
Stratigraphic Modelling
- Ideal for any stratified deposit such as coal, nickel laterite, tin, phosphate, bauxite, iron ore and platinum
- Visual 3D seam correlation between drillholes to view and validate stratigraphy or geological logging
- Create and display even the most complex stratigraphic hierarchy in a geologically familiar way
- An intuitive and transparent workflow simplifies the modelling process and allows each step to be manually verified
- Efficient storage of all relevant information in Seam Block Model, which viewed as a table or a spatial object for quick data search
Copilot
- Use neural networks to improve the resource estimation workflow applying actionable insights and guidance at three critical points in the resource estimation
- A cloud-based assistant based on artificial intelligence provides expert support for your decisions and increases the reliability of the model through an independent approach and data validation
- Apply impactful machine-learning techniques to generate lightning-fast models with remarkable precision by Micromine Nexus
