The region is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Hyland Group, the basal formations of the Late Precambrian to Late Devonian Selwyn Basin. The geology of the property is comprised of interbedded quartz pebble conglomerates, coarse-grained arkosic sandstone, and black phyllite of the Yusezyu Formation. North of the primary exploration targets the geology is characterised by calcareous sandstones, limestone breccia, and turbiditic limestone and siltstone successions which form a newly recognized formation that occurs between the Yusezyu and Narchilla formations.

March 1, 2012 MEG Luncheon: DATA MINING

Extracting Map Data from Mining Documents

Geographic Search and Referencing Platforms

The mining industry generates millions of documents a year, not only from geotechnical data but from training, regulatory, personnel, and legal departments. While specialized geotechnical and GIS applications enable the storage, analysis and retrieval of the structured portion of this information in map views, the key piece of information needed to support a business critical decision is more likely to be stored on a shared drive in Word, PowerPoint, Adobe or Excel, in a SharePoint document repository, or on a web page.
