Data Processing

Automatic Data Processing

In other geological software programs, you need to specify which columns of your tables are collars, which ones are geological properties, which ones are assays, etc. In those other programs, you would need to manually transcribe the tables out of PDFs and then manually join them together. Mineflow handles much of this during indexing by reading files, classifying extracted records, and joining related drill data where it can.

Why This Matters

On our site, you can upload files or folders, paste a supported cloud link, or start with curated sample datasets. Mineflow reads the files, finds drill holes and other spatial data, connects related tables and reports, and makes the extracted data available on maps, in search, and in 3D workflows where applicable.

Here's an example of how this works with drill data. After files are indexed, Mineflow shows the files and the data types it pulled out of them:

If you click on a data type (e.g. Drill Data, Geological Maps, Geophysical Surveys), you can filter your entire dataset to find all of the files of that type (e.g. all magnetic surveys you have run in an area).

By selecting those files, you can see how many unique drill holes are in those files and easily view them on a map.

You can also see all of the data types in your entire portfolio on a map, not just drill data.
