From logged contacts to geometry

Turn a geologist's reading into a model you can measure

Desurvey logged drillholes, model contacts implicitly as a scalar field, and contour that field into watertight geological and grade shells — reviewed in one 3D scene alongside the holes they came from.

The ground surface interpolated from 113 collar elevations, with the drillholes and vein shell beneath it.

Target audience

Exploration and resource geologists, geological modellers, mine geology teams, and technical services groups.

Platform capabilities

Drillhole desurveying from collars, surveys, and logged intervals
Contact extraction with the dropped-station accounting shown, not buried
Implicit scalar-field modelling of a declared stratigraphic column
Isosurface extraction with recorded volume, area, and Euler characteristic
Nested shells rendered as layers of one model, ordered by isovalue
3D review with sections, vertical exaggeration, measurement, and A/B comparison
Open surfaces declared as open rather than reported with a meaningless volume

Business benefits

Make a geological interpretation geometric and reproducible
Keep the holes visible beside the model they produced
Give downstream estimation a boundary it can be constrained by
Record whose interpretation it is, on the artifact itself

Groundrush, a public open-file gold project: 113 drillholes in 3D around the vein shell solved from their logged contacts.
Ordinary kriging on a 20 × 20 × 10 m lattice inside the vein shell, coloured by grade (g/t Au).
Collars staged and validated row by row — nothing touches the domain until the file is committed.
Groundrush, a public NTGS open-file gold project: drillholes, the interpolated ground surface and an ordinary-kriged block model in the vein shell.
