Training Courses in GOCAD® Mining Suite

The following courses are part of our basic offering and are available in different formats, including remote and on-demand. If you have specific needs, please complete the training information request form available here to let us know what you are looking for. Our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Introduction to GOCAD® Mining Suite

  • This introductory course provides an overview of the key concepts and core modelling philosophy in GOCAD® Mining Suite.
  • Through hands-on exercises, you will learn how to open a project, navigate the interface, import multi-disciplinary data, and the basics of 3D visualization and exploratory data analysis.
  • Discover how to construct an integrated 3D geological model and define target regions for future exploration.

GOCAD® Mining Suite Fundamentals

  • This training explores the notions learned in the Introduction to GOCAD Mining Suite in depth.
  • In this course, you will gain experience with object creation, digitization, and editing.
  • Construct lithological contacts from various data types such as surface geology maps, structural measurements, drillhole pierce points, and geophysical data.
  • Build an integrated Common Earth Model and populate it with 3D exploration criteria, from which you will compute a mineral potential index.

Introduction to Potential Field Interpretation in GOCAD® Mining Suite

  • This course introduces the tools available for importing, assessing, and interpreting geophysical data.
  • Construct a 3D magnetic model by interpreting a body from TMI data and computing its magnetic response using VPmg.

GOCAD® Mining Suite Targeting Workflow

  • Explore 3D multi-disciplinary targeting techniques for mineral exploration.
  • Discover how to generate sound exploration targets using knowledge-driven and data-driven techniques of combining weighted exploration criteria derived from geological, geochemical, and geophysical data and interpretation.

GOCAD® Mining Suite Advanced Interpretation

  • This course is designed for geoscientists that already have a basic knowledge of the tools available in GOCAD and are looking to expand their skill set.
  • Explore the visualization and interpretation technologies available in the Advanced Interpretation Package.
  • The training is divided into 4 independent parts:
    • 1D and 2D views such as cross sections, well sections, and maps
    • Advanced visualization for 3D Voxets
    • Geostatistics, variogram modelling, and interpolations/ simulations
    • Modelling of faults and horizons from 2D and 3D seismic interpretation
