This is supported by the world’ s best 3D visualisation environment for promoting understanding and interpretation of data. Maptek delivers solutions that make use of all available information in an Internet of Mining Things approach. This enables our customers to develop and evaluate mine designs which are structurally and economically viable and which can be planned and scheduled to optimise the value of the extracted resource.”
Datamine launches geostats module and addresses planning
Datamine’ s recent webinar marked the official release of the much anticipated Studio RM module, Advanced Geostatistics. Hosted by Kathleen Hansmann, Datamine’ s Senior Geosciences Analyst based in its Johannesburg office, the webinar took attendees on a comprehensive journey of estimation using the new workflow process incorporating the use of brand new features such as 3D variogram analysis and kriging neighbourhood analysis( KNA). The webinar culminated in a demonstration of the new co-kriging algorithm that have been incorporated into the new estimation engine which is over 100 times faster than the previous process.
“ Now the module has been fully released and
our consultants are busily giving demonstrations of the new functionality which is being well received. The Advanced Geostatistics module neatly packages the entire estimation process into a simple to use workflow which includes scenario management which is perfect for auditing previous estimations. In addition to the new workflow, the process incorporates a host of new functionality to further extend Datamine’ s core offering of geostatistical tools”: n Variography – Interpretation: The workflow incorporates a revolutionary approach of analysing the sample variance of the dataset in 3D.“ This is truly the best way to interpret anisotropy and assists in the selection of the
