Unlocking the Value of Structural Geology in Mining, Exploration & 3D Modelling

Overview:

SRK and Seequent will host this structural geology and 3D modelling short course.

In this two-day course, you will develop skills in structural data collection and interpretation through hands-on, practical exercises using drill core samples and structural data from real deposits.

You’ll learn how to integrate structural geology with 3D geological modelling and gain confidence in effective application of structural geology in greenfields and brownfields exploration and resource estimation.

 

DAY 1: Data Collection & Interpretation

  • The importance of structural geology to exploration and mining projects
  • Measuring and acquisition methodology in the field and using drill core
  • Effective QAQC of structural data
  • How to analyse, interpret and visualise structural data in stereographic nets and in 3D

 

DAY 2: Using Structural Data & 3D Modelling

  • Practical experience building 3D models in Leapfrog Geo
  • A better understanding of structure and deposit geology through 3D integration and modelling
  • How to interpret structural data to determine the controls for modelling mineralisation

Leapfrog Fundamentals Training or a sound background in Leapfrog modelling is highly recommended prior to attending this course.

A laptop with windows and the latest Leapfrog Geo software is essential for the duration of this course.

Who should attend:

Geologists interested to develop skills in structural data collection and interpretation through hands-on, practical exercises using drill core samples and structural data from real deposits.

Learning outcomes:

Geologists will learn how to integrate structural geology with 3D geological modelling and gain confidence in effective application of structural geology in greenfields and brownfields exploration and resource estimation.

Important note:

This is a 2 day workshop and numbers are limited to 16.

Seequent Presenter:

Joel Vergunst 

Project Geologist

Joel specialises in training new users in Leapfrog Geo, IMAGO and Target for ArcGIS. He has spent 7 years within the exploration industry throughout Australia, focused on gold and lithium exploration, primarily in WA.

This work included paleochannel exploration in Victoria, geochronological studies within the geological survey of SA and Greenfields exploration in WA.

With a preference for structural geology, Joels Masters degree focused on studying fracture systems along the Victorian coastline.

This has led him to preference working with structural data, within the Leapfrog Geo software.
