K-MINE Geology
About K-MINE Geology
K-MINE Geology is the geology and resource estimation module within the K-MINE platform. It covers the full workflow from exploration and database creation through geological modelling, resource estimation, and reporting. The module supports drillhole database management, 3D geological modelling, block modelling (with sub-blocking for complex structures), cross-section creation, and resource estimation using multiple interpolation methods: Nearest Neighbor, Inverse Distance Weighted, Simple Kriging, Ordinary Kriging, Lognormal Kriging, and External Drift Kriging.
A strength is the built-in tools for preparing technical reports compliant with JORC, NI 43-101, SAMREC, and SK-1300 codes. The module supports import from multiple file formats and direct import/export of .dxf, .str, .dm, .dat, .dtm, and .3ds objects from third-party software. It provides a multifunctional relational database pooling sampling, drilling, geophysical, geochemical, hydrogeological, and other data.
K-MINE occupies a niche position as a cost-effective, integrated alternative to the major platforms. Its competitive advantage lies in the combined software+consulting model, allowing clients to leverage the same team for both tool implementation and technical reporting. It is best suited for operations wanting a single platform from geology through mine planning, particularly those with connections to Eastern European or CIS mining markets.

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.
