Vulcan Geology

Vulcan Explorer

Vulcan Explorer provides an interactive 3D visualisation and modelling environment to test and validate exploration models. Block models and 3D triangulated surfaces created with Vulcan Modeller, GeoModeller or MineModeller can be viewed and assessed.

Vulcan Geomodeller

Vulcan GeoModeller is ideal for creating geological, structural and grade/quality models for stratigraphic and non-stratigraphic applications. It can also be used for geological modelling, face mapping, statistical analysis and preliminary resource calculations.

Vulcan Geostatmodeller

Vulcan GeoStatModeller is a complete configuration for performing geostatistical analysis to create models and accurately determine geological resources. Tools for variograms and grade estimation augment grid and block modelling, geology and plotting.

• Vulcan Implicit Modeller
  A streamlined method for interpreting a deposit by generating automatic models of complex geological domains from drillhole information.
• Geology tools (pdf)
  Management and validation of drillhole, lithological, and analytical data using vulcan database or through interfacing to third party databases.
• Block modelling
  Accurate creation, visualisation and manipulation of complex block models.
• Base geostatistics
  General tools for the application of geostatistical techniques.
• Gaussian simulation & co-kriging
  All the geostatistical tools widely used in risk analysis, uncertainty assessment and bivariate simultaneous grade estimation.
• Channel sampling (pdf)
