Successful targeting in exploration requires exploration geologists to integrate and interpret large amounts of geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. Traditionally this has been done in 2D using MapInfo, and in pseudo-3D using Discover 3D. Traditionally taking this data and interpreting it in 3D was a time consuming process where a simple model would take weeks, if not months to create. This meant that 3D modeling was only done on advanced exploration projects with s

The San Celso project covers a number of historic mines that exploited a series of narrow silver-base metal veins hosted in a quartz monzonite, on the east flank of a large rhyolite stock. All we received was: AutoCAD maps of the mine workings. A assay data excel spreadsheets. So we didn't have much data to work with! INEGI provide (for free - link here) TIFFs and ArcGIS shp files for Mexico at 1:50K scale. We used this to create a topo surface in Leapfrog to use for our mode
