UNKNOWN

real geology

Rocks are made up of collections of minerals (with specific composition and texture). Rocks are affected by structures.

SAMPLE & MEASUREchemical and physical properties

Measurement values depend on geology, measurement type, errors, and sampling strategy. e.g. XRF, XRD, hyperspectral, images

MODEL

geology model

Algorithms performed on the data provide higher level geological information from which we can create the geological model. e.g. primary rock type, alteration, structures

PREDICTnew information for decision making

Algorithms predict useful information for minerals exploration and mining. e.g. predict mineralisation and rock properties
