Collecting data is becoming easier with innovations in laser scanning, photogrammetry, remote sensing, automation and robotics all contributing toward data acquisition. Many data managers are tasked with structuring this information in ways that are useful and easy to access the information. A central question to the collection of spatial and aspatial data is the growing importance of risk and uncertainty, and how captured data, particularly 3D data, might help to de-risk and lead to greater certainty of processes and decisions.

Building detailed geological surfaces and solids is essential to a productive mine. It’s also time consuming. Wire-framing drillhole data amid details and takes time that could be spent analyzing information, testing theories and generally being a geologist. Mining software company, Mintec, Inc., believes it has solved this challenge with the release of MineSight Implicit Modeler.
