Title: From Maps to Models: Leveraging Leapfrog Geo for 3D Geological Interpretation and Drill Planning
FOOD & BEER SPONSOR: SWICK
Abstract:
Building effective drill programs begins with a clear understanding of geology in three dimensions. This talk demonstrates practical techniques in Leapfrog Geo for transforming open-source geological maps into robust 3D models that guide drill testing. Structural measurements, lithological contacts, fault geometries, and mapped veins are integrated to create dynamic interpretations that evolve with new data. The workflow highlights how rapid visualization and implicit modeling can refine geological concepts, identify key controls, and reduce uncertainty before drilling begins. By bridging surface mapping with subsurface prediction, Leapfrog Geo provides a powerful framework for targeting and decision-making in mineral exploration.
