Fast Track Your Resource Estimation Processes

This is Part Two in a three-part series. Read Part One here.

Mining datasets are growing faster than ever as mines become larger and deeper around the world. For resource geologists, and those dependent upon them downstream, the software used to model geology has now kept up with this growth. It can now take hours for, or even days in some cases, for the software to run calculations, if it can at all, on large data.

What is the cost of this? First, the mining efficiency is impacted as geological models cannot be updated quickly enough to be reflected in mine schedules. This impacts what is processed and thrown out as waste. Is high grade ending up in the trash and low grade being put through the mill?

Second, the resource geologist is trapped waiting for the calculations to complete, leaving their computer tied up when they could be doing other things.

There is faster software available now that can assist with it.
