Supported File Formats

Mineflow's data ingestion system can process a wide range of file formats.

Format Support Overview

One of Mineflow's key advantages is our ability to process virtually any file format used in the mining and exploration industry. Our AI-powered ingestion system automatically detects file types, extracts relevant data, and organizes it appropriately.

Unlike other platforms that require specific file formats and rigid structures, Mineflow can work with your data in its original format, saving you countless hours of data preparation.

Built-in Dataframe Formats

Formats with inherent data structures that organize information into records, attributes, and relationships.

Shapefiles

ESRI Shapefiles (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj) supporting points, lines, and polygons with attribute tables and spatial references. Can contain drill collar locations, geological boundaries, and more.

Excel Files

.xlsx, .xls files containing structured tabular data with multiple sheets. Commonly used for collar data, surveys, assays, and lithology logs.

CSV Files

Comma-separated value files with row-column structures. Universal format for all types of tabular data in exploration.

GeoJSON

JSON-based format for encoding geographic data structures with attributes. Supports Point, LineString, Polygon, and their Multi- variants.

NetCDF

Self-describing, array-oriented scientific data format. Excellent for multidimensional data like geophysical grids and climate data.

Access Databases

.mdb and .accdb relational database files with tables, queries, and relationships. Common for comprehensive drill hole databases.

KML/KMZ

XML-based formats for geographic visualization in Google Earth, with support for styling, folders, and descriptions.
