GOCAD Mining Suite

GOCAD Mining Suite is Mira Geoscience's flagship 3D geological modelling software, rooted in the SKUA-GOCAD technology co-developed with Emerson (Paradigm). Available in multiple packages — the Geoscience Exploration Package (for building and querying integrated exploration models) and advanced configurations including cross-section digitizing, block model interrogation, geostatistical interpolation, estimation, and simulation.

Key capabilities include advanced drillhole management, automated drillhole correlation using stratigraphic columns, multi-parameter interrogation of block models, cross-section editing synchronized with 3D features, and an optional ioGAS-GOCAD Mining Suite Link for 3D geochemical analysis. The software supports multi-scale data integration from geological, geophysical, geochemical, and geotechnical sources.

GOCAD Mining Suite occupies a specialized niche, being particularly strong where geological and geophysical data must be integrated — a common requirement in exploration-stage projects. It is favored by geophysicist-geologists who need to combine geophysical inversions with geological models. It competes less directly with mainstream packages like Leapfrog or Vulcan and more as a complementary tool for multi-disciplinary exploration workflows.
