Isatis.neo
About Isatis.neo
Isatis.neo is Geovariances' flagship platform, released in 2019 as a complete ground-up rebuild of the legacy Isatis product. It features a modern interface, 3D visualization, parallelized algorithms, and extensive Python scripting and batch automation capabilities. The latest release is version 2025.3. Available in three editions — Standard, Mining, and Petroleum — the Mining Edition is specifically configured for resource geologists and geostatisticians.
The Mining Edition provides preconfigured workflows for mineral resource estimation through kriging (ordinary, indicator) and Uniform Conditioning, geostatistical simulation (Sequential Gaussian, Turning Bands, SPDE), plurigaussian simulation for complex geological facies modelling, grade-tonnage curve derivation, resource classification, ore control, and reconciliation support. It supports both in-situ and recoverable resource estimation, geometallurgical analysis, and contact analysis.
Isatis.neo is a specialist geostatistical tool, not a full geology suite. It does not include geological modelling, wireframing, domain modelling, or drillhole management — those functions are handled by packages like Studio RM, Leapfrog, or Surpac, which Isatis.neo is designed to complement. Its differentiator is the depth and breadth of geostatistical capabilities — nonlinear geostatistics, multivariate analysis, conditional simulation, plurigaussian simulation — which go far beyond the geostatistical tools built into general-purpose mining software. Python scripting enables fully automated, reproducible estimation workflows.

Carlson Geology
by Carlson Software
Carlson Geology is a module within the Carlson Mining suite providing geological modelling capabilities for both stratigraphic (layered) deposits and hardrock ore bodies. It uses drillhole and sample data to create subsurface models using industry-standard algorithms. Key features include drillhole data entry, cross-sections and fence diagrams, fault modelling, mine reserves calculation, kriging and variograms, block viewing, and optimized pit design. The module runs on AutoCAD and includes IntelliCAD built-in.
DomainMCF
by Maptek
DomainMCF (Maptek Compute Framework) is a cloud-based machine learning tool for geological domain modelling, launched in 2021. It represents a fundamentally different approach: geologists feed in drillhole or sampling data, and DomainMCF uses ML to generate domain boundaries and grade models in minutes rather than the days or weeks traditional methods require. Processing runs on Maptek's Compute Framework cloud infrastructure.
GeologyCore
by Maptek
GeologyCore (also referred to as Vulcan GeologyCore) is Maptek's dedicated geological modelling environment, released in 2021. It provides a workflow-based interface guiding geologists through six key steps: loading and validating data, defining geological domains, and generating, validating, and publishing models. It supports multiple modelling techniques — machine learning, traditional vein modelling, stratigraphic modelling, and implicit modelling — within a single, streamlined interface.
GeoModeller
by Intrepid Geophysics
GeoModeller builds complex, implicit 3D geological models using a geostatistical vector field (CoKriging) interpolator from structural data, cross-sections, drillholes, and geophysics. Formation-specific anisotropy settings enable realistic geological representation even with sparse data. The stratigraphic pile defines model topology, enabling transfer of external geological knowledge into the model.
