Isatis.neo’s Flattening tool helped gain resolution in high-grade estimates and selectivity for mine planning of a PGM deposit
“I see Isatis.neo as an auditing tool. In particular, I find the Estimation Validation feature essential for validating block models generated with other software. I also appreciate the software for its specific tools. For example, I used Isatis.neo’s flattening tool to rotate a vein in a PGM (platinum group metals) deposit. Had the vein not been rotated in the estimation process, the kriging ellipsoid would have passed through it, diluting the resources. By rotating the vein, I increased kriging efficiency from 40% to 70%, providing more resolution in high-grade estimates and selectivity for mine planning.”
