Promine
About Promine
Promine's suite includes dedicated geology modules for creating polygonal evaluations, generating block models from drillhole data, performing resource estimation and geostatistics, and viewing fault planes within orebodies. The software covers the full mining workflow including 3D drift and raise modelling, stope design, drill and blast planning, and scheduling. Its survey module accommodates multiple file formats, and the Grid module produces scalable layouts.
Promine occupies a niche as a value-oriented, mid-tier mining software solution. Its biggest differentiator is seamless AutoCAD/BricsCAD integration, meaning users work in an environment they already know. However, its geology capabilities are not as advanced as dedicated platforms like Leapfrog or Vulcan for complex geostatistical analysis. Best suited for small-to-medium underground and surface mining operations, particularly in the Americas.
The software is actively developed with recent releases enhancing 3D modelling capabilities and BricsCAD support. Promine also offers an integrated approach to mine planning that connects geological interpretation directly to operational design, which appeals to smaller operations seeking a single affordable tool rather than multiple specialized packages.

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.
