The accurate interpretation of subsurface geology is essential for resource estimation and exploration success. However, the lack of specialized methodologies and software proficiency limits the precision of geological modeling, affecting decision-making and operational efficiency in mining and exploration projects.
Our Course of Implicit and Explicit Geological Modeling equips geological engineers with the skills to manage geological data, construct block models, and generate accurate subsurface representations. This comprehensive program covers project configuration, drillhole data visualization, surface and solid creation, and advanced modeling techniques. Participants will learn to integrate implicit and explicit modeling methods, optimize data processing, and apply geostatistical tools for resource estimation. The course also focuses on data validation, compositing, and interpretation strategies, ensuring accurate geological characterization. By mastering these techniques, professionals will enhance resource evaluation, streamline exploration workflows, and improve geological decision-making in mining and geoscience projects.
