The Maptek Geology Challenge

By accepting the terms and conditions I agree to present a concise report with supporting images of the problem being tackled, the methods taken and results found. No sensitive information must be submitted, and the report must focus on the methods rather than results.

Winning entrants must provide a photograph on request for Maptek to use in announcing the winners of the challenge on our website and social media platforms. Any additional publication of reports or findings will be done in consultation and with express permission of the participants.

Personal and company prizes will reflect how well participants have controlled the complexity of their geology for their submitted project.

Submit the registration form by October 31, including the required paragraph outlining the problem you wish to solve.

This year’s theme invites participants to critically assess:
Is machine learning here to replace implicit modelling—or can the two work together to drive better outcomes?

Through hands-on modelling and comparison, participants will test both methods, identify insights, and uncover where each technique shines—or where they work better together.

We encourage you to think outside of the box and look for solutions that have been difficult to resolve when framing your submission.

Maptek will contact you to let you know if your registration has been accepted and advise the terms and conditions for participation in the challenge, which will take place during one month across November.

Maptek will provide the software licences and cloud services required, along with tutorials to help you get started. Regional success consultants will be available to provide support during the challenge.

Final reports will be judged on the novel approach to solving the problem that benefits your project or deposit.
