While Leapfrog Geo excels at creating robust, dynamically updatable vein models, the geological complexity of vein-hosted mineralisation often presents a significant challenge. When veins exhibit zoned patterns of mineralisation, even experienced users can find it difficult to create geologically realistic representations. Common workarounds can result in intersecting and cross-cutting domains, which are not ideal or useful. To use sub-domained veins in downstream applications like mineral resource estimation, it is critical the vein model you create is as representative as possible.
Â
Session three in our Mastery Series is designed to help you master these complex scenarios. Our Leapfrog Geo Master will teach you to build robust vein models using advanced features and the latest tools in Leapfrog Geo and Edge to:
Â
Model with confidence: Build grade-based subdomains within veins, ensuring that higher-grade cores are accurately captured for a more reliable resource estimation.Â
Ensure model integrity: Create geologically sound models that are free from intersecting domains, providing a solid foundation for downstream applications and decision-making.Â
Streamline your estimation: Utilise the new compositing dialogue, data preparation and estimation preparation workflows in Leapfrog Edge to build better-informed estimations with improved functionalityÂ
Join our dedicated community group created exclusively for this series, where you can dive into session discussions, tackle post‑session challenges, take part in interactive polls, and stay connected with fellow participants throughout the journey.
Erik Scheel is a geologist with a background in mineral exploration and resource estimation. His experience includes working for junior and major mining companies with a variety of mineralisation styles, including Ni-Cu-PGE, orogenic Au, and porphyry Cu-Au. Â
Erik’s work at Seequent focuses on Leapfrog Geo and Edge and our new Evo products Driver and BlockSync, helping customers, delivering high-quality training, and liaising with product teams to improve solutions. He enjoys complicated projects and building new workflows or adapting others for applications directly in or adjacent to mineral resource estimation.Â
