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.
