Block Modeling Software for Mining
Sub-Block and Regular Block Model Construction
Create, populate, and validate block models with support for sub-blocking, multiple variables, and direct integration with resource estimation workflows.
K-MINE block modeling module constructs regular and sub-block models with flexible cell dimensions, multiple attribute fields, and direct links to geological wireframes and estimation parameters. Populate block models using kriging, inverse distance, or nearest neighbor methods with full audit trails. Manage model versions, compare estimation runs, and export block models to pit optimization and scheduling workflows without format conversion.
Drillhole Database Management
Store drilling, sampling, and geological data in a unified relational database with automatic validation and multi-user access.
Implicit & Explicit Modeling
Use both methods in one environment for rapid domain generation and precise manual control over wireframes and surfaces.
Multiple Block Model Types
Choose from four block model types including HARP, Octree, and percentage models for different deposit geometries.
Advanced Resource Estimation
Estimate grades using multiple kriging methods with built-in cross-validation and resource categorization.
Quality Assurance & Validation
Automatic checks detect 12 error types including collar mismatches and overlapping intervals before estimation.
Sections and Visualization
Generate cross-sections through drillholes, block models, and geological surfaces with integrated grade display and reporting tools.
