This 2019 paper introduces you to orebody modelling of the future. Learn how machine learning allows rapid generation of domained orebody models, including the estimation of multiple numeric variables and uncertainties, directly from drillhole data.

This paper discusses the factors accentuating complexity in deposit modelling: data diversity, structural controls, chemistry, data volumes, process workflows and external non-geological constraints. A case study illustrates the risk of ignoring complexity, which can result in an overly simplified geological model.

This 2021 paper outlines the DomainMCF modelling approach to the spatial distribution of marble quality categorisation parameters and compares it to marble product classifications generated by the conventional estimation method.

From a small office offering geological database and plotting services, Maptek has grown to a global technology business with more than 20,000 users spanning 90 countries.

Deposits are complex by nature, but a lack of time and resources prevents us from interpreting their richness and complexity in full. This open-forum webinar discusses the modern domain modelling challenges geologists are facing today, and how harnessing technology is key to overcoming them.

Machine learning is already providing breakthroughs in rapid, accurate resource modelling. Learn how being transparent about uncertainty actually improves confidence. The recording includes the Q&A from two sessions.

Machine learning is already providing breakthroughs in rapid, accurate resource modelling. Now Maptek can reveal the unique ability to record the degree of uncertainty around resource predictions. 

Join this webinar to learn how being transparent about uncertainty actually improves confidence in your work. 

This webinar outlines the power and functionality of DomainMCF for resource modelling. A short video is followed by the Q&A session from the APAC-Americas session (from 16:05), and then the Europe, Middle East and African session questions (from 54:40).

DomainMCF is a new paradigm for domain modelling which applies machine learning to rapidly create resource models.

An expert panel featuring Penny Stewart, Hugh Sanderson and Christie Myburgh explores the issues that arise when we apply machine learning to mining applications. These include how we harness the vast volumes of data made available from mining processes, transform it into knowledge and apply that knowledge to continually improve.
