PRESS RELEASE: The HxGN MinePlan Geology Suite (formerly MineSight 3D, Geology CAD, Torque, QAQC, Logic, Drillhole Correlation, Sigma and GeoLogic) empowers users to store, manage, and analyse drillhole data, perform geological interpretation of deposits and generate accurate block models.

The release allows customers to access and deliver drillhole results while conducting more geostatistical studies. Drillhole data storage is more robust and easier to access with an SQL server. Customers can quickly and easily check out their data, work on it, and merge it back into the original master data.

The improvements are designed to increase the usability of a robust data model that meets the needs of all customers, from consultants to mines. Clients with data outside of Hexagon products can work with any type of ASCII format.

Ian Blumel, planning product manager at Hexagon Mining, said: "By listening to our customers, we have improved our geostatistical solution to meet their needs. Building a suite fully integrated with our system allows more time for analysis rather than moving and conditioning files."
