What is MSDA?

Statistical and geostatistical tools

Reads MineSight drillhole & block model data as

well as external sources, e.g. spreadsheets

Classical statistics including Histograms,Scatterplots, Cumulative Probability Plots

Custom Reports

Traditional variograms and variogram modeling

3D Variogram modeling with Auto-Fit

MSDA Timeline

2005 Q2: MSDA Beta released

2005 Q4: MSDA Released with MineSight 3.5

2006 Q3: Mintec begins expanding and enhancing MSDA.

2007 Q2 (est.): Release first set of new / enhanced features.

Will be demonstrating many of these during this presentation

2007 Q3 (est.): Release second set of new / enhanced features.

Will mention some of our ideas towards the end of this presentation

Summary of Enhancements

expected in 2007 (Q2)

New tools such as Box Plots, QQ Plots & Indicator Variograms

Dozens of significant functional enhancements to existing tools

Many general workflow and ease of use improvements

Improved validation of user input at data entry time

Miscellaneous cleanup and bug fixes

Indicator Variograms

(1) Create Indicator Variograms Added Indicator type to the variogram tool; user specifies a range of

cutoffs and MSDA generates indicator variograms for each one

(2) Build 3D Variogram models for each Indicator

Added save & restore capability to Variogram 3D Modeler to managethe large number of models typically involved with Indicator Variograms

(3) Organize and display indicator variograms Wrote new tool to display multiple indicator variograms by azimuth & dip

(4) Create input file for MIK Program (m624) Wrote new tool to create the MIK Variogram Parameters File from the

collection of 3D Variogram Models

Create Indicator Variograms


9/26

Build 3D Variogram Models for Each Indicator

Build 3D variogram model for each Indicator CutoffNew tool lets you name & save all info associated w/ each 3D Variogram Model

These 3D Variogram Model files can be used by other applications such as MIK

24/26

Style and Workflow Enhancements

Simplified the way we set the output file for most tools

Extended Metadata updates automatically (user setting)

Added a remember choice option to most dialogs Fixed some Annotations problems

Miscellaneous improvements & fixes, e.g. tab order


25/26

Other Enhancements

(completed)

Simplified the way we import variograms into the 3D Modeler

Provided default titles & file suffixes for the Application Filter

Added direct access to Text Files (not via ODBC Data Source Names)

Various bug fixes, e.g. problems w/ ODBC Reserved Words

Dozens of smaller improvements and fixes


26/26

MSDA Enhancements under considerationfor future release (est. 2007 Q3)

Downhole variograms

Cross Variograms

Batch Processing / Scripting

Auditing / Log files

Standardize numeric formats via user settings Calculated fields in Data Source

Save / restore Custom Report view settings

More statistics for Custom Reports

More info on all charts, e.g.. Data Source details

Extract parameters from previous file & rebuild (all tools) A variety of new options for the Variogram 3D Modeler

Extended support for string data, e.g. in filters
