EXPLORATION AND SAMPLING
Mira Geoscience integrated
interpretation for exploration
targeting
DCIP2D forward modelling and inversion
programs. Enhancements allow users to save
time and run efficiently on large-scale problems
with multi-processor capability. The new
versions provide increased capability to
incorporate geologic information via a
multicomponent regularization function, the
reference model, petrophysical constraints, and
use of active and inactive cells.
The company continued playing a key role in
the largest-ever Canadian mineral exploration
research project, the industry- and NSERCfunded CMIC Footprints project, by providing its
software suite as the project’s key 3D integrated
earth modelling platform, and providing direct
research leadership in the data integration
component of the program.

predictive modelling and data integration is
ongoing.
Integrated modelling and analysis of
exploration data requires sound data
management infrastructure and practices. Mira
Geoscience is using its experience in developing
integrated geotechnical data management
systems for underground mines (for example
Rio Tinto’s “CaveCad” system) for managing
integrated exploration data. It is extending the
proprietary Geoscience INTEGRATOR data
management system so that drillhole data can
be managed seamlessly alongside all types of
geological, geophysical, and geochemical
exploration project data. The data management
system features seamless connection to 3D
visualisation, modelling, and tar
