Hexagon MinePlan Geosciences Suite

Hexagon MinePlan's Geosciences Suite is a comprehensive set of integrated modules for exploration and resource geology, embedded within the MinePlan 3D visualization platform. It is not a single standalone product but rather a collection of specialized tools sold as packages. The Resource Geo package integrates data management, visualization, QA/QC, statistics/geostatistics, geologic modelling, block modelling, and resource estimation. The Exploration Geo package adds field-to-model workflow connecting the GeoSlate mobile logging app (Android tablets) with MinePlan 3D.

Key component tools include: Torque (SQL-based drillhole/sample database platform), Sigma (univariate, bivariate, variography, declustering, contact analysis), GeoLogic (implicit 3D geological modelling with fault handling), and Block Model Manager (introduced 2023 for centralized block model storage, versioning, and collaboration with APIs for integration). All tools connect through the Logic workflow manager, which builds reproducible, auditable workflows linking drillhole management through to scheduling.

MinePlan Geosciences differentiates through its 50+ year track record and its deep integration across Hexagon's planning, operations, and safety ecosystems — data flows seamlessly between geology and fleet management, collision avoidance, and drill & blast systems. Estimation methods include Ordinary Kriging, Indicator Kriging, and simulation. The suite competes with Micromine Origin, Leapfrog, Datamine, and Vulcan.
