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.

Prior to drilling, use RockWorks to create surface geochem contour maps, 2D elevation contour maps and 3D terrain models.

After drilling, process and visualize your drillhole data by creating: drillhole logs, stratigraphic profiles, correlated cross-sections, fence diagrams, and stratigraphic block models.
