Why build 3D geological models?
Geology is a 3D science, so valid 3D geological models will improve your understanding of your projects.
Exploration 3D models will improve your interpretations and generate drill targets.
Resource Definition 3D models define domains and allow constrained resource estimations.
Mining 3D geological and structural models improve mine design, hydrology and geotechnical studies.
Why use SRK?
Until recently, generating 3D wireframe models was a very time consuming process. In 2001 SRK recognised the need for change and developed Leapfrog software with Applied Research Associates of New Zealand (ARANZ). Since that time we have continued to develop and expand our expertise in new geological modelling software, such as Geomodeller and GoCAD.
Our experience, combined with these new software tools, allows us to quickly build realistic 3D models, in regional areas with limited mapping or wide-spaced drilling and in advanced projects and mines, where complex geology and structural features can be modelling in hours or days, instead of weeks or months.

the srk approachSRK encourages a collaborative relationship with its clients, building on their core geological skills to enhance exploration and mining projects. Employing a flexible approach allows full 3D models at a range of scales to be quickly constructed. However, we still use the traditional elements of data validation and analysis, conceptual geological models, interpretation and model construction in a true 3D environment.
By using implicit software, such as Leapfrog, SRK’s experienced geoscientists can add value to your projects in a cost effective manner.
Benefits of working in a 3D Environment are:
True 3D consistency of data is maintained•
Surfaces can incorporate structural data - no longer a join •the dots exercise
Influence of specific drillholes or sections can be evaluated •quickly
No need for time-consuming tie lines or intermediate •sections
Time taken to complete the model is significantly reduced•
Deformed block models can model lithology properties •around folds or across faults
