Empower Your Geology Team To Become Structural Experts

The following is a statement I made in reference to professional authenticity on social media. Jun is a great example of an authentic, honest and forthright scientist. A man who analyses, solves and publishes his thoughts, whether on social media,…

I supervised Jun at SRK from 1999 to 2003, and subsequently worked closely with him during his employment with Zaparo (JV company between SRK and ARANZ to build Leapfrog). Jun has made significant contributions to the Minerals Geoscience profession in…

A work colleague and I recently spent two very interesting days with Jun Cowan from Orefind discovering things about our own drilling data. It is both rewarding and almost mandatory to get professional advice at the beginning. What we had…

We hired Jun to provide Leapfrog training for several staff members. Whilst we had a liscence to use the program and could run it, we couldn’t use it effectively. Jun took us through it’s capabilities on day one, and then…

I worked with Jun through the development of Leapfrog. His insight and vision provided the guiding principles for development of the fast, powerful and simple to use engine for the application of structural geology of advanced 3D analysis and visualisation….

Jun’s Leapfrog training course was brilliant! Not only is Jun an excellent teacher his structural geology background illustrates leapfrog as a powerful structural geology tool. From simple datasets that teach you the basics you quickly develop the confidence to interrogate…

Jun is the only other 3D structural geologist I have met who is able to bridge the gap between the on-ground data capture and integration of multiple data sets and demonstrating this effectively in the 3D environment. As a service…

For most of us who have been in the industry for more than 10 years, and strictly speaking, we, who almost always adhere to conventions, never venturing far from familiarity and comfort of Status-Quo….once in a while will come across…

Jun’s skills as a geological modeler were utilized on Northland’ cluster of gold and base metal deposits in Sweden. The objective for this study was to better understand the metallogeny of these deposits and provide advice regarding exploration upside. Jun…

“Leapfrog is not a black box solution to ore deposit modelling. But, driven correctly and with sufficient field data to control interpretation, it can be a very useful tool to help resolve complex 3-D geological problems. Jun Cowan at Orefind…

I have worked with Jun several times previously and he is a guru with Leapfrog, having helped develop the program and continues to provide input into ongoing development. Although Jun and I do not always agree, his analysis and observations…

Jun Cowan is the expert in 3D geological modelling using Leapfrog software. His knowledge of the software combined with his understanding of structural geology and ore deposits, allows him to create meaningful geological models that seem realistic. His training is…

Recently I had the privilege of getting Jun Cowan’s input into a project. It was refreshing how quickly Jun saw the key structural influences. Although there are plenty of structural components Jun’s analysis allowed certain aspects likely to be influencing…

Jun has a superb Structural Geology background, which gives him great insight in developing three dimensional solutions for Geological and Mineral Resource models. As a member of the original team that initially developed the tool, he has a superb knowledge…

I appreciate very much the effort you put in training us (Newmont Ghana Exploration Geologists) on not how to use the Leapfrog software alone, but the insight into testing integrated geological ideas intelligently with the software. It was phenomenal and…

I strongly believe that combination of all scale structural and geophysical data with the Leapfrog visualization and modelling of ore shoot is currently the most powerful way for an understanding of mineralization as well as for a discovery of new…
