GOCAD® Mining Suite

Base Module

Earth modelling and 3D-GIS solutions
Summary
GOCAD Mining Suite Base Module provides a complete
earth modelling and 3D-GIS solution for the miningindustry. It is designed to build and query integrated
exploration models for mineral exploration and geotechnical hazard assessment. From data import to exploration drillhole design, geoscientists from all disciplines canmanage their exploration program from one central
software application. Its multidisciplinary approachprovides reliable results that become an integral part ofthe decision making process. Being modular software,
you can custom build it to your needs.

GOCAD Mining Suite Base Module is an extension of SKUA-GOCAD™–Paradigm®, the world's mostsophisticated geological modelling platform, adapted specifically for the mining industry and available
exclusively from Mira Geoscience.

This industry-leading earth modelling application has been designed from theground up to rapidly construct integrated multi-disciplinary 3D earth models.
» Imports geological, geophysical, geochemical andgeotechnical data from standard mining industryformats» Does interpretation through advanced visualization
and GIS-based queries» Models surfaces rapidly with seamless transition toblock model format» Updates models directly in 3D» Maps data from one object type to another via several projection and interpolation methods» Generates drillhole targets from multiple data sources and can be identified and ranked based on
3D-GIS queries» Provides key functionalities to plan straight anddeviated boreholes with its drillhole designer toolkit©2001 Noranda. All rights reserved

A wide variety of modules developed by Mira Geoscience and Paradigm canbe added to the GOCAD Mining Suite Base Module. This offers the flexibility
to tailor a software solution to match your company's specific needs.
