Agenda
• Introductory Remarks,
with Ralph SMITH
• Integrated Implicit and Explicit Geology Modeling in Surpac,
with Ross PEMBERTON
Discover how Dassault Systèmes’ GEOVIA has integrated the latest technology into GEOVIA Surpac to enhance geology and resource modeling workflows. Discover how this solution provides and combines traceability, repeatability, speed, and explicit control to reduce the time it takes to update geology models. Additionally, understand how Integrated Implicit Geology Modeling empowers geologists to work smarter and faster, without sacrificing geological control or compromising the geological interpretation.
• Panel Discussion: Block Modeling Best Practices,
with Glenn BARLOW, Isaac OSEI, & Edem ABBA
A discussion between a geologist & a mining engineer as they explore real-world block model challenges and strategies to overcome them.
• Live Q&A Session
with Glenn BARLOW & Ralph SMITH
Whether you're focused on modeling, resource estimation, or operational planning, this program offers actionable knowledge to support your work.
