Original blog post: https://minervaintelligence.com/driver-primer-5-overlaps-analysis In our last blog post, we demonstrated how to upload and manipulate your data in the DRIVER platform. In this post, we will introduce the ‘Overlap Analysis’ tool and show you how to easily interrogate dozens of elements simultaneously. Mineral deposits often have complex multi-element…

https://minervaintelligence.com/driver-primer-4-uploading-data/ In our last blog post, we discussed how DRIVER can automatically — and virtually instantaneously — identify anomalous zones in your deposit. In this post, we will discuss how to upload and manipulate your data in the DRIVER platform. Uploading data into DRIVER is very simple: it merely…

https://minervaintelligence.com/driver-primer-3-creating-zones/ In our last blog post, we showed how DRIVER can be used to quickly and easily create accurate block models of all a dataset’s attributes. In this post, we will discuss how DRIVER can automatically — and virtually instantaneously — identify anomalous zones in your deposit. In mineral…

https://minervaintelligence.com/driver-primer-2-block-models/ Block modelling is a popular way to analyse the numeric data that is collected during drilling programs. In DRIVER we create and use block models to view the estimated concentrations (or grade) obtained using kriging or inverse distance interpolation methods. But creating accurate block models (i.e., turning the…

https://minervaintelligence.com/driver-primer-1-anisotropy/ One of the biggest roadblocks to making accurate 3D block models of numeric drilling variables is the difficulty of constraining the anisotropy (i.e., directional dependency) of a particular attribute. Due to the inherent structural nature of geological or mineralised systems, it is important to consider anisotropy when defining…

Let’s face it, when people talk about AI, most of the time they’re thinking about Machine Learning. In fact, ML is so pervasive that they’re often surprised to hear there are other types of AI. So let’s talk about ML… There has been amazing progress made in ML recently —…
