Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company, has unveiled a considerable update to its industry-leading 3D earth modelling and analysis tool Leapfrog. The new functionality enhances core tools and workflows to improve productivity and help solve a range of geoscience challenges in mining projects, including resource estimation, mine planning, and exploration targeting.
Leapfrog Geo 2024.1 release updates boost 3D modelling, interoperability, and visualisation capabilities:
- Users can now run multiple instances of Leapfrog on a single machine. This allows users to work faster, working on one project while another one runs simultaneously.
- Drilling improvements deliver new visualization and access to survey data. The visualisation of downhole survey data provides additional insights and validation of drill hole orientation to aid drilling data analysis. Other drilling improvements focus on saving time when modelling resource grade or contaminants, flexible tools to execute complete workflows, and gaining more comprehensive context alongside other geological information.
- Improvements to geological modelling with new flexibility for inputs help users create better informed models quicker by supporting attribution of mapped data, improve insights into the data points influencing the model surfaces with updates to mesh surface values, and provide better control over vein surfaces when modelling.
- Leapfrog Geo is now interoperable with OpenGround to streamline ground investigations.
- Improvements to geological modelling with new flexibility for inputs help users create better informed models quicker by supporting attribution of mapped data, improve insights into the data points influencing the model surfaces with updates to mesh surface values, and provide better control over vein surfaces when modelling.
Updates for resource estimation tool, Leapfrog Edge, focus on improved overall performance for estimating resources in-situ, including tonnage, grade, and metal.
- Functionality advancements help users work with more complex estimatesand better understand their resources. These advancements include enhanced parameter table editing, new change log tracking, upgraded de-clustering, and improved overall performance.
- Regular model outputs from sub-block models can now be produced from Leapfrog Edge, an extension of Leapfrog Geo and readily shared with engineering and mine planning teams to streamline mine planning.
