I outline the quickest way to model geology in 3D, but it’s controversial and the discussion may offend the majority of academic economic geologists!
Read MoreThe myth of sectional geological modelling: Part 1
“Interpreting in section and in plan is the most reliable way we can understand the geology of the deposit.”, or is this statement a myth?
Read MoreIs sectional digitisation in geological modelling still considered “industry best practice”?
For geological modelling, resource geologists generally favour the use of sectionally hand-digitised wireframe models for resource estimation, but in 2012 is this still considered industry best practice? Jun Cowan, the conceptual founder of Leapfrog software, discusses this issue with a familiar example.
