Leapfrog Solutions for Mining
Modelling
Leapfrog's easy-to-follow workflows are designed with geologists in mind. Workflows are easy to learn, requiring less training time and enabling greater Leapfrog expertise and collaboration across the team.
Leapfrog Geo - is a workflow-based 3D geological modelling tool. Leapfrog Geo's powerful implicit modelling engine bypasses time-consuming wireframing and produces models directly from drillhole, blasthole, GIS, geophysics and structural data sources.
Leapfrog EDGE - is a solution for today’s resource estimation challenges. Leapfrog EDGE allows robust resource estimates to be carried out in a considered, crafted environment with the industry standard tools needed most arranged into a streamlined workflow.
Hydrogeology module - improves decision making in the areas of mine dewatering and contaminant flows. It gives Leapfrog Geo functionality to interoperate with MODFLOW and FEFLOW, making it easy to use lithology models as the basis for flow models and visualising modelling results.
Visualisation and Communication
View - Leapfrog users can readily share key model views with team members and stakeholders via an internet browser. View runs on any modern internet browser with no need to install software or pass large files around, is free to use, and there is no limit to the number of people it can be shared with.
Leapfrog Viewer - With the free Leapfrog Viewer, anyone can view scene files exported from any Leapfrog modelling product.
Leapfrog Aspect - is a free Android app that can be downloaded from the Android App Store. With this augmented reality tool, users can stand on the edge of an open pit mine and see the model superimposed over the view.
Model Management & Reporting
Central - is a model management platform that supports continuous modelling. Central makes it easy to back up the model, make incremental changes and track those changes. It’s better than a shared network drive; it’s a centralised store that significantly increases auditability, for governance purposes. And with the Browser, other stakeholders can readily see how the model evolves over time.
Licensing - Flexible licensing options allow an organisation to optimise how it uses Leapfrog. For mining operations, Corporate OnDemand, a cloud-based licensing system allows Leapfrog to be shared between many users.
Chris Gordon of European Consultancy, Specialised Geological Mapping, comments, “Leapfrog really shines at the intrinsic modelling. We save a colossal amount of time using Leapfrog and you also get a dynamic model that you can update very easily. And because it is so fast it allows you to focus on other things with the remaining time.”
