3D Geological Modelling

Geological modelling software for open pit and underground mining operations

Model your geology with confidence, accurately estimate resource value.

Maptek Vulcan helps you to make sense of your geological data. Interpret the most complex geology and create 3D resource models that are transparent, reliable and repeatable.


Create, test and validate models

Manage and visualise very large and complex datasets, process the information and rapidly generate models. Vulcan’s sophisticated algorithms and fast processing allow virtually instant validation of data for building and maintaining up-to-date models of a deposit.

  • Create geological, resource and block models
  • Model complex deposits with folded or curved veins
  • Dynamically update models with the latest site data for a more representative picture of your deposit

Case Study

Implicit or explicit modelling

Vulcan has both. We've developed an advanced selection of both automated and manual modelling tools. Our customers like the choice.

Our implicit modeller creates models that are repeatable and accountable, for both grades and categories. You control user parameters, there are no black boxes.

 

Smart functionality for better productivity

Vulcan provides an intuitive environment for visualising designs and models in 3D. There are no steep learning curves to slow you down. Refine your ore bodies by hand, with our next-gen technology.

 

Incorporate geological thought

Take ultimate control of your geological information. Modify solids and surfaces in freehand mode by pinching and smoothing to better represent geological interpretation and speed up the decision making process across the entire mine.

 
 

Advanced statistical analysis tools

Gain a better understanding of technical data for resource modelling. Our streamlined interface integrates variogram analysis for structural and grade based anisotropy.

  • Create and modify exerimental variograms and apply models to the data
  • Display multiple models concurrently for real-time, side-by-side comparisons
  • Produce high quality charts and export them into .png and .csv file formats for resource reporting
 

Packages shaped around your needs

We’ve used our decades of experience and constant customer feedback to create packages and specialised tools for almost every deposit and operation, including yours. We can also design a custom configuration for your operation.

It doesn't end there. We can streamline your workflows and provide expert training to help you and your team hit the ground running.

Flexible pricing

You can choose from a range of short to long term subscription options.

So if you're a consultant working on a month long contract, or the head of a permanent team of geologists at a mine site, our licensing options will suit your needs.

Rock solid customer support

If you encounter an issue (it happens to all of us) or if you need expert advice, Maptek's global network of support teams is on hand to help you at almost any hour of the day.

And when you call or email us, you'll get straight through to experienced geologists, surveyors, mining engineers and geotechs.
