Description

In this course you will learn how to use the Drillhole Planner utility found in Studio RM, Studio RM Pro and Studio EM.

The Drillhole Planner is a tool used to interactively plan exploration, infill and production drilling patterns. It can be used to create new plans or can modify existing plans, using a combination of interactive tools and fine-tuning controls.

The purpose of a geological drilling program is to confirm if anomalies seen in geological data are real and to improve your knowledge of a deposit. This is to either discover a new deposit or to delineate an existing mineral resource.

The types of anomalies that you investigate could be from geochemical, geophysical, geological mapping data or wider-spaced drilling data. To understand the anomaly better, you could add in new data points (what you drill) between other data points (the information you had previously), so you can fill in the gaps in your model.

Geological drilling extracts core (or chips) from the path of the drilling, which means that the rock that contains the anomaly can be physically identified and sampled. Without this "ground truth", you can never be certain that your hypothesis of what is under the ground is accurate enough to invest in a potentially expensive drilling program.

Who benefits?
Geologists. Anyone who needs to plan a drilling activity or campaign. This can be used for both exploration and production drilling.

Prior learning requirements
This course refers to several key concepts in Studio software. As such, if you're unfamiliar with the subjects, we recommended you complete the following courses before this one:

  • Filter Data in Studio Products
  • Navigate the Studio Interface
  • Work with 3D Views
  • Work with Data in Studio
  • Work with Legends
  • Work with Sections in the 3D Window
  • Work with Visualizations – Drillhole Formatting

Knowledge Check 

There is a quiz which is designed to check knowledge gained. You are allowed 3 attempts. Upon completion of the course you will receive a Certificate of Completion. 

Survey 

At the end of the course, you will be asked to complete a survey. This should take around 2 minutes. Your feedback is important. We will use your responses to determine improvements we need to make to enhance your learning experience. 

Objectives

After successfully completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Launch the Drillhole Planner and create a new grid-based exploration drilling pattern.
  • Extend an existing drilling plan with infill drilling.
  • Code a loaded (and modified) drillhole plan with planning model attributes.
  • Add planning comments to planned holes.
  • Specifying overdrill.
  • Constrain collar and target positions during planning, including forcing alignment with a loaded surface and orebody wireframe.
  • Edit existing drillhole data orientation and structure.
  • Simulate the deviation of the drill bit as it passes through layers of differing competence using lift and drift.
  • Export planned drilling data as tables for transfer to other systems.

Certificate

By completing/passing this course, you will attain the certificate of Completion
