Geobank Features

Geobank Features

Regardless of the size of a company, the internal IT capability, or how diverse its geological resource, MICROMINE offers a module to suit your organisation.

Geobank is comprised of five modules;

• ADMINISTRATOR
• CORE
• PROFESSIONAL
• COAL
• SAMPLE TRACKER

ADMINISTRATOR

The Administrator module is a secure section within Geobank that contains the tools for the creation and management of key Geobank functions.

Key features include:

• Configuration and preview of data sources, tools and components
• The ability to manage Users and Groups for increased security
• Managing Profiles and Task Lists
• Importing GBIS 7 Profiles and Symbology
• The ability to import Micromine Hatch-sets
• Import / Export Tools for sharing configuration

CORE

The CORE module is fundamental to the Geobank application. It provides all the tools required to build a robust, yet flexible data management system. Data collection, validation, browsing and reporting functions can all be tailored to meet the requirements of any individual, or group within an organisation.

Key features of the CORE module include:

Data views and queries

• Connectivity to Microsoft SQL Server
• Sophisticated graphic report generator
• Flexible Import and Export tools facilitate the conversion, validation and repair of data from disparate sources
• Feature-rich data entry screens with extended support for bar code scanners
• Fully configurable data validation procedures
• Macro functionality

Geobank is distinguished from other data management solutions because it is highly configurable. It features Graphic Reporter, a powerful report generator, which allows the geologist to not only view and print a report in a familiar format (e.g. downhole strip log), but also to browse the database using the same graphical format. This means that users can navigate from one hole to the next and see a live, current view of the data in a predefined graphical format.

COAL

The Coal module offers functionality aimed at dealing more effectively with the added complexity of coal data.

Key features of the COAL module include:

• Provision for fractional and cumulative washability data at multiple size fractions
• Routines to compile a standardised wash matrix by interpolating values from disparate washability data sets
• Basic compositing tools with the option to view wash curves
• Ability to calculate and export wash tables

PROFESSIONAL

The Professional module provides extended functionality designed specifically for exploration and mining. It includes specialised utilities for displaying and managing drill hole data.

Key features of the PROFESSIONAL module include:

• Management of tenement, drill hole and other exploration data on a project basis
• Specialised drill hole utilities ensure accurate resurveying, correlating and compositing of downhole data
• Unique graphical editing tool for adjusting depth intervals based on reference data such as geophysical logs
• Plan view interface to visually build drill hole lists for use in reporting and other processes
• Built-in coordinate transformations to deal with survey data in multiple coordinate systems. This allows the user to do ‘on the fly’ datum conversions during the Plan view display
• Import geophysical files

SAMPLE TRACKER

The Sample Tracker module stores and manages data that relates to the collection, preparation and analysis of samples.

Key features of the SAMPLE TRACKER module include:

• Ability to customise procedures for individual laboratories
• Perform full reconciliation of dispatch vs. receipt which allows full verification that information is as requested, and if not, ascertain whether data is still acceptable
• Handling of quality control samples submitted by the client or introduced by the laboratory
• In-line quality control procedures to allow early rejection of suspect data. Using Shewhart charts and scatter plots, users can reject a consignment before committing the data to the database
• Extensive reporting in HTML format
• QA/QC Reporting
