ARANZ Geo celebrates a decade of 3D implicit modelling with Leapfrog at PDAC

CHRISTCHURCH, NZ, 3 March, 2014 – ARANZ Geo, the developer of Leapfrog® 3D geological modelling solutions for the mining, hydrogeology and geothermal industries, is celebrating ten years of 3D implicit modelling with Leapfrog at PDAC, a leading mining investment convention in Toronto.

ARANZ Geo, a world leader in the interpretation and visualisation of geological data for the mining, environmental, renewable energy and other geologically dependent industries, developed Leapfrog a decade ago. The very first geological modelling tool of its kind, Leapfrog is now an indispensable tool to reduce risk associated with geological modelling and is relied on by the top ten mining and exploration firms to enable better decision making.

Shaun Maloney, ARANZ Geo’s CEO says, “Leapfrog sets the standard in geological modelling. PDAC is a great event to show off demos of our new release features, Leapfrog Geo 2.1 and 2.0, and new offerings such as our consultant on demand licenses. We’re also making available copies of the ARANZ Geo sponsored book Unearthing 3D Implicit Modelling.”

Leapfrog Geo 2.1 for advanced interoperability

Leapfrog Geo 2.1 heralded the start of the Leapfrog Partner Programme for advanced interoperability with leading partners including geostats tool Snowden Supervisor, geographic mapping and analysis application MapInfo Discover from Pitney Bowes and geographic information system Esri ArcGIS. Maloney says, “Snowden Supervisor gives Leapfrog Geo 2.1 users the ability to combine the speed and power of Leapfrog’s FastRBF™ engine for grade interpolation, with the confidence that geostatistical analysis offers. You can expect even more interoperability to come.”

Leapfrog Geo 2.0 – industry leading vein modelling

Leapfrog Geo 2.0 is a major release, offering vein modelling far superior to anything else on the market. Users can model curved or folded vein systems that branch or terminate within the intuitive ‘vein systems’ workflow. Narrow geological units such as dykes or shear zones can also be modelled within this new workflow.

‘Unearthing 3D implicit modelling’

‘Unearthing 3D implicit modelling’ is a Leapfrog sponsored publication that looks at 10 years of implicit modelling and how it continues to change the industry. The book contains valuable insights, comments and opinions from industry experts whose day job brings them into direct contact with the various modelling software packages, tools, methodologies and outputs.

Consultants offer

ARANZ Geo is offering consultants a new way of gaining access to the latest and best in 3D geological modelling. Find out how you can rent Leapfrog only when you need it, from one day to several months for smarter working and fast dynamic modelling.

Leapfrog is crafted for geologists and saves time and frustration with logical workflows and a beautifully simple interface. Features that set Leapfrog apart include direct from data modelling to build and update models significantly faster, unrivalled processing power, and the ability to evaluate multiple models to test hypotheses. Leapfrog enables compelling 3D visualisation and models can be easily shared with the free Leapfrog Viewer.

The PDAC International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange is the world’s leading Convention for people, companies and organizations in, or connected with, mineral exploration. The four-day annual Convention held in Toronto, runs 1-4 March, and is the event of choice for the world’s mineral industry with over 1,000 exhibitors and more than 25,000 attendees from over 100 countries. ARANZ Geo is exhibiting at booth 350. For more information see http://www.leapfrog3d.com
