RockWorks in the mining industry |
RockWorks is well suited for use with coal, industrial mineral (aggregates, limestone), and other stratabound economic deposits, in both the exploration and production phases.
|
| RockWorks features applicable to the mining industry |
Prior to drilling, use RockWorks for creating surface geochem contour maps, 2D elevation contour maps and 3D terrain models.
