Abstract:
In minerals exploration, routine drilling is performed and the data logged from these drillholes, including lithological composition, assays, and downhole geophysical measurements such as natural gamma logs, are used to create geological interpretations of the strata within each drillhole. A 3D geological model can be created by identifying corresponding stratigraphic boundaries within multiple drillholes. These models can be used for understanding the formation and the mineral endowment of a deposit.
