The creation of a validated structural geospatial workflow using oriented drill core NOVEMBER 9, 2018 SHARE: by Francine Long, P. GEO, Senior Geologist at Nordmin Engineering Ltd.
The importance of using structural data in every discipline within geology cannot be overemphasized. Dedicated geologists spend enormous amounts of time collecting critical structural data. This same dedication should be used to validate and plot the data into products for use as tools to make sound geological decisions, interpretations, and validation of structure, lithological, and resource models.
Insufficient oriented-core structural datasets being collected on various project sites or access to this data is a significant issue that could delay the development of spatial workflows.
I had the good fortune to work with Moneta Porcupine whose team had been collecting orientated drill core over a period of years with the intent to use the data to make sound geological decisions. This case study focuses on the methodology I used with Moneta Porcupine to create a ‘Validated Structural Geospatial Workflow’ and the geological aids and products which came out of these collaborative efforts.
