The montaj Drillhole Plotting extension enables quick, easy and accurate production of presentation-quality drillhole section and plan maps. Drillhole data can be presented in a 3D space within the Oasis montaj environment.

This extension enables geologists to set up drill projects, manage results dynamically, and interpret results for follow-up drilling and decision-making.

The extension enables you to create plan, section, stacked section and 3D visualizations. A Strip Log and Compositing tool is also provided for displaying up to 16 strip log plots per map, and for calculating and annotating composite intervals on plotted strip logs.

Use montaj Drillhole Plotting to:

• Process and analyze large volume drillhole data.
• Import directly from an acQuire database management system.
• Create data validation QA/QC reports.
• Quickly select your holes of interest.
• Create drillhole plans, sections and strip logs.
• Visualize borehole and drillhole data from different angles in true 3D space.
• Produce high quality maps for interpretation and target definition.
• Generate and manage exploration drilling projects.

New capabilities in release  8.0

Drillhole Plotting

Add 3D Vector files to Section and Plan Maps

You can now include 3D shapefiles and 3D DXF files while generating a section map in Target or Target for ArcGIS. This enables you to add 3D vector files (such as ore body wire frames and open pit outlines from mine planning packages) to section maps, plan maps and level plan slices. The imported 3D files appear in the correct location on your 2D section map. The 3D DXF file is clipped to the thickness of the section map (only the portion which exists inside the section is visible) while the entire 3D shapefile is projected onto the centre slice of the section.

Drag and drop layers from Geosoft Maps to the 3D Viewer

Now you can drag and drop any map group (or multiple selected groups) from a Geosoft Map to the 3D Viewer. This enables you to quickly display interpretations drawn on section maps within the 3D View. All the section map groups will appear in their correct geospatial orientation in the 3D view.
