DATA CAPTURING
We can capture your data be it in soft copy or hard copy and take your data from something useful and tangible. With the use of powerful mining software we can help you get the most out of your data. We have experience assays, survey pegs, development drives, shaft locations and stopping sections. This data may seem meaningless at first but once captured and collated it can produce
incredibly detailed outputs. AERIAL AND SATELITE IMAGERY
We can use aerial photographs and satellite imagery to detect changes in soil colour and vegetation and this is directly related to rock type as the chemistry of rocks determines the soils they produce. This allows us to do a preliminary analysis of the area and develop a generalised map of the area. We can then propose mapping transects which will need
to be traversed across to map surface outcrops and this will allow us to create a surface geology map of the area in question. This will feed into a drilling proposal should confirmatory drilling be required. GRADE DISTRIBUTION AND OREBODY MODELLING
We can utilise underground samples/assays to define areas where the grade is distributed and then use this to infer the direction, dip, and orientation of the reef/s. The more underground levels that the mine has the more accurate and representative the model will be. DRILLING
Architeca can delineate both surface and underground drilling targets. Surface drilling can be used to develop an orebody outline and obtain both estimated grade and tonnage of the
orebody. BLOCK MODEL
This is the final stage of the modelling process. A block model is essentially a set of specifically sized "blocks" in the shape of the mineralized orebody. Although the blocks all have the same size, the characteristics of each block differ. The grade, density, rock type and
confidence are all unique to each block within the entire block model. The purpose of the block model is to feed directly into the mineral resources and reserves. We are able to plan both the mining operation as well as the logistics such as dump placement, surface stockpile, roads and plant location. DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Architeca can manage your data. Everything from assays, surveys, depletions, reductions, drilling data, and much more. We have technical experts that have years of experience managing databases to ensure that you get the most out of your data. We can design a database
that is easy use and we are able to back it up to the cloud so that in the unfortunate event of an accidental deletion or system crash, your data is still safe.
