Generating Predictions

How to generate mineral predictions from your visualization.

Overview

Mineflow allows you to generate predictions directly from your 3D visualizations or cross sections. You can choose from a variety of models to predict mineral potential, lithology, or other properties of interest in your exploration area.

Generating Predictions

Create a visualization

Start by creating either a 3D visualization or cross section view of your drill data.

Select prediction in the visualization controls

From your visualization, access the layer controls and select "Generate prediction".

After processing, your predictions will be displayed directly within your visualization, allowing you to see patterns and potential targets.

Prediction Visualization

Cross Section Predictions

Predictions on cross sections show mineral potential in a 2D slice:

2D cross section predictions

The color intensity indicates the likelihood of mineral presence, with warmer colors (reds, oranges) typically indicating higher probability.

3D Predictions

3D predictions provide a volumetric representation of mineral potential:

3D predictions

3D predictions allow you to visualize the predicted mineral distribution throughout the volume of interest.

Exporting Predictions

After generating predictions, you can export them for use in other software:

Export options include:

  • CSV format: For further analysis in spreadsheet software
  • GeoTIFF: For GIS software
  • VOXEL models: For mining software like Leapfrog
