Predictions Overview
How prediction layers fit into Mineflow's map and 3D workflows.
Where Predictions Fit
Prediction workflows start after Mineflow has indexed exploration data and you have created a 3D scene or map-backed context worth analyzing. A prediction run uses the selected scene, target, model, and parameters to create a reviewable layer that can be loaded back into the product.
Use predictions to compare possible spatial patterns against the original data. Do not treat a prediction layer as a resource estimate or final geological interpretation without independent review.
What the Prediction Dialog Controls
- Target: choose the property to estimate, such as a selected assay element or lithology when the scene contains the necessary inputs.
- Model type: choose from the model options exposed by the prediction dialog for that target.
- Output format: choose the representation the UI offers for the selected target, such as surfaces or a block model.
- Model options: review any model-specific settings, such as variogram, neighbor count, kernel, cube size, or smoothing controls.
- Jobs: monitor ongoing jobs and reopen completed predictions from the Past Predictions tab.
How to Review a Prediction
A useful review starts with the inputs. Confirm the drill holes, assays, lithology, and any non-drill layers are in the right place. Then load the prediction layer and compare it against the original evidence rather than reading it in isolation.
