Structural Coal Model

By using a structural model derived from multiple data sources, Peabody Energy was able to mine more coal than previously expected. Drillholes, seismic, mine workings, croplines and intuitive geological interpretations all have a part to play. Read More >>

Thar Lignite Feasibility Project

Vulcan geological interpretation tools are a powerful means for visualisation and 3D data interpretation, proving valuable for resource estimation and technical analysis of a stratigraphic deposit.Read More >>

Galway Resources uses Vulcan to realise value

Galway Resources used Vulcan to evaluate the resource of their molybdenum-tungsten project, with the aim of getting it back into production. Significant value was discovered and Victorio Mountains became Galway’s flagship project. Read More >>

Resource modelling in Vulcan

Endeavour Silver Corp. ensure accuracy in their block model through the use of Vulcan. A key tool in the process, Vulcan allowed for all constraints to be incorporated efficiently without compromising accuracy. Read More >>

Faster 3D modelling in Vulcan

A new technique in Vulcan allows users to increase productivity in generating 3D geological models for large, complex metalliferous orebodies.Read More >>

A new slant on strat modelling

Vulcan HARP modelling provides geologists with tools for interpreting coal horizons using drillhole data and downhole geophysical characterisation, ensuring the best result for accurate modelling of stratigraphic units.Read More >>

Greater accuracy with Vulcan HARP models

Scottish Coal takes advantage of stratigraphic modelling enhancements and HARP modelling techniques in Vulcan to create geological models of their resources with greater accuracy than ever before.Read More >>

Using Vulcan to prepare regulatory reports

Glendell Mine has turned the time consuming process of regulatory survey reports into something quick and easy by implementing Maptek Vulcan. Required to submit spatial data every 3 months, Glendell can now submit reports with ease. Read More >>

Vulcan chosen for Olympic Dam expansion

BHP Billiton has undertaken angled infill drilling to upgrade the classification of mineral resources during the Olympic Dam expansion evaluation stage. Using this and other information, a resource model of the orebody has been created in Vulcan.Read More >>

Vulcan models coal for Vale Mozambique

Vulcan HARP block modelling has provided mine planners at Vale Mozambique with accurate quality and volume information not possible with traditional grid based models. This allows Vale to link mine planning to the geological information in one mine planning model.Read More >>

Vulcan tetramodelling at Plutonic

Barrick Plutonic Gold Mine uses the tetramodelling functionality in Vulcan to quickly identify areas of economic importance in areas with multiple sub-parallel lodes. Barrick is now able to create a model in less than a week, compared to months previously.Read More >>
