Maptek DomainMCF

New paradigm for domain modelling

Maptek DomainMCF uses machine learning to generate domain boundaries direct from drillhole sample data for rapid creation of resource models. Geologists feed in drilling data and obtain domain or grade models in dramatically less time than traditional resource modelling methods.


The Maptek Compute Framework moves away from complex software installed on desktop computers and shifts costs from capital to operating budgets. Faster, secure cloud processing is supported by flexible licensing.

Generate resource models in minutes or hours, depending on size, data density and complexity of the deposit.

Many operations only have the ability to update their resource models once or twice a year. Using DomainMCF, your project can be modelled in minutes with results comparable to classical techniques. You remain in control of the process without the onerous preparation work. New data can be added and models regenerated quickly to reflect the current data.

Streamline workflow - data errors are highlighted and the modelling job cannot be submitted until changes have been made to remedy these.

DomainMCF solves another challenge - having valid geological data to input into the resource model. Data validation is completed within DomainMCF before the modelling phase.

The new geological domain modelling process using machine learning is especially suited to large volumes of data such as later stage exploration projects and operating mines. Your operation will benefit from multiple solutions run in parallel using high performance cloud computing.
