MineModelingPro reads drill tables straight out of NI 43-101 technical reports and assay news releases, places the holes in real terrain, and estimates a block model you can orbit, slice and interrogate — tonnes, grade and contained metal, cross-checked against the published resource. Upload your own drilling and it stays private to your account.
Loading a model…
The work an analyst would otherwise do by hand — pulling collar and assay tables out of a 400-page PDF, working out the coordinate system, desurveying, compositing, estimating — done automatically, for every deposit in the database.
Collar, survey and assay tables are extracted by word position from the filed PDF — multi-page tables, "including" intervals, feet, ppm, oz/t and all. The published resource statement comes with them, so the model's contained metal can be checked against the real one.
Block size, bulk density, composite length, search range, capping grade and the reporting cut-off are taken from the project's most recent technical report. Where no report exists, from what is typical for that region and commodity. Every number says where it came from — and you can change any of them.
Upload collars, assays and surveys as CSV, Excel or an Access database. Headers are matched by meaning, units converted, holes desurveyed. Your files are yours: nothing is shared unless you choose to share a model, and the source files are never shared at all.
Pick a public deposit, or drop in your own files and say which coordinate system they use. Your holes can be modelled together with the drilling MineModelingPro already holds.
Start from the report's own estimation recipe, then adjust block size, search radius, estimator, top-cut, density or cut-off. Saving rebuilds the model in a minute or two.
Orbit the model, colour the holes by grade, slice to a section, move the cut-off and watch tonnes, grade and contained metal move with it.
Grades here are inverse-distance estimates built for visualisation and comparison. They are not a mineral resource estimate, they are not classified, and they are not signed by a qualified person. Every model page shows the published resource beside the estimate precisely so the difference is visible. Verify against the source filing before relying on any figure.
MineModelingPro Studio is available to clients by invitation. If you have drill data you want in 3D — or a portfolio you want modelled on a consistent basis — get in touch.
