<encoded_tag_open />v Jillian<encoded_tag_closed />Hi, everyone.<encoded_tag_open />/v<encoded_tag_closed /><!— wpml:html_fragment —>
[00:00:04.930] 
Thank you for taking the time to join me today
[00:00:07.330] 
for this Tip Tuesday on validating your Leapfrog Geo model.
[00:00:12.110] 
My name is Jillian James,
[00:00:13.680] 
and I’m a project geologist here in Seequent’s Perth Office.
[00:00:18.200] 
Seequent has a range of software
[00:00:20.090] 
for use throughout the exploration and mining value chain.
[00:00:24.600] 
Today, the focus will be on the functionality
[00:00:28.030] 
in Leapfrog Geo with a brief introduction
[00:00:31.010] 
to Seequent Central.
[00:00:35.580] 
The key aims of this session
[00:00:37.340] 
are to give you some tips and tricks
[00:00:39.630] 
on how to validate your Leapfrog Geo model
[00:00:42.500] 
and make validation an integral part of the modeling process
[00:00:46.640] 
rather than just an afterthought.
[00:00:50.121] 
In this session, we’ll cover:
[00:00:52.520] 
how to check the data feeding into your model is validated,
[00:00:57.040] 
tips on section by section validation,
[00:01:00.940] 
how you can use Leapfrog Geo statistical tools
[00:01:03.860] 
to validate your model,
[00:01:06.400] 
how you can use query filters to test areas of your model,
[00:01:10.760] 
for example, if you want to test where the model was barren,
[00:01:14.670] 
but the grades are above a certain value,
[00:01:18.200] 
where the model was mineralized,
[00:01:20.140] 
but the grades are below a certain value,
[00:01:23.750] 
and where the geology log does not match the model geology.
[00:01:29.540] 
Finally, we will look at how to upload your project
[00:01:32.480] 
to Central for peer review and final validation.
[00:01:38.800] 
The most important step in validating any geological model
[00:01:43.520] 
is to check that the data
[00:01:44.960] 
feeding into the model is validated.
[00:01:48.270] 
Remember, rubbish in equals rubbish out.
[00:01:52.980] 
Things you should check include looking to see
[00:01:57.110] 
that all the data is included in your project,
[00:02:00.710] 
including any unmineralized holes,
[00:02:05.150] 
understanding the impact that missing
[00:02:07.210] 
and null values may have on your model,
[00:02:09.640] 
and how the replacement rules are being implemented.
[00:02:15.120] 
Are there any extreme outliers, highs or lows,
[00:02:18.290] 
in your dataset?
[00:02:21.840] 
Does the data look to be in the correct spatial location
[00:02:25.970] 
relative to things such as development and topography?
[00:02:30.490] 
And are there any duplicate points or overlapping intervals?
[00:02:37.280] 
Leapfrog Geo automatically identifies and flags
[00:02:40.890] 
common data errors when data tables are imported.
[00:02:45.200] 
Until errors are corrected,
[00:02:48.150] 
the rows that contain those errors are excluded.
[00:02:51.980] 
For example, if the ID for a color
[00:02:54.510] 
contains an invalid coordinate,
[00:02:57.050] 
that color will not be displayed in the scene
[00:02:59.860] 
as its location is not known.
[00:03:03.230] 
This will also affect any downstream processing
[00:03:06.910] 
and it will ignore any data associated with this drillhole.
[00:03:12.060] 
We will now move into the software
[00:03:14.170] 
to look at this in more detail.
[00:03:18.830] 
This session will not cover building domains from scratch.
[00:03:22.850] 
So throughout the demonstration,
[00:03:24.740] 
I am going to make use of a project already created
[00:03:28.100] 
using the saved scenes to show the functionality.
[00:03:32.720] 
I’m going to use a dataset from a real underground goldmine
[00:03:36.210] 
that has since been mined out.
[00:03:38.780] 
Data locations and names have been changed
[00:03:41.330] 
to keep the project anonymous.
[00:03:44.430] 
Although I am demonstrating this functionality
[00:03:47.230] 
with respect to our underground narrow vein gold system,
[00:03:51.060] 
these validation tools can be useful
[00:03:53.370] 
in almost any deposit style or geological setting.
[00:03:58.180] 
If you need help with your individual project,
[00:04:00.900] 
please don’t hesitate to contact
[00:04:02.800] 
our friendly support team to assist you.
[00:04:07.840] 
I will begin with validating the drillhole database.
[00:04:12.620] 
Over in my project tree,
[00:04:14.240] 
you can see I have a diamond drillhole database here
[00:04:17.930] 
and I’ve imported all these various table types
[00:04:21.890] 
to build my database.
[00:04:24.810] 
The red exclamation marks here on my assay, geology,
[00:04:28.420] 
and vein codes indicate that there is possibly an error.
[00:04:34.090] 
The orange exclamation mark on my survey
[00:04:36.880] 
indicates there is a warning.
[00:04:40.070] 
The blue downward pointing arrow
[00:04:43.500] 
indicates that the data has been imported correctly
[00:04:46.920] 
and there is no errors to fix.
[00:04:50.960] 
To fix an error, I right-click on one of these tables
[00:04:54.510] 
that has an error and select fix errors.
[00:05:00.890] 
This will open up a new tab
[00:05:04.467] 
and it will show me where these errors are occurring.
[00:05:09.720] 
This assay table actually has no errors,
[00:05:13.190] 
but it has some invalid values handling.
[00:05:18.970] 
If we look at this AU_PPM one,
[00:05:22.010] 
we can see that some rules have been applied
[00:05:25.210] 
to the non-positive values.
[00:05:28.150] 
So by default, it is going to replace them with 0.01.
[00:05:33.370] 
However, other rules have been applied
[00:05:36.870] 
for other values with the general rule of thumb
[00:05:40.980] 
usually replacing them with half the detection limit.
[00:05:50.470] 
Leapfrog Geo identifies a range of common errors
[00:05:54.580] 
and all errors identified are grouped by type.
[00:05:59.930] 
You can click on any error
[00:06:01.840] 
and expand it to find out more information.
[00:06:05.340] 
Some errors will involve you
[00:06:06.730] 
going back to the original database and fixing them
[00:06:10.360] 
and some errors can be ignored within Leapfrog Geo.
[00:06:16.660] 
Once the errors in the database are fixed and validated,
[00:06:20.530] 
you can be sure your model will have the most up-to-date
[00:06:23.730] 
accurate data feeding into it.
[00:06:30.070] 
Next, I can check that my drillhole data
[00:06:33.240] 
that I have imported is in the correct location
[00:06:36.650] 
to some of my features such as my topography
[00:06:43.000] 
and development drives.
[00:06:46.690] 
I can rotate in the 3D scene
[00:06:50.380] 
to check for any error in the survey data
[00:06:53.540] 
and ensure my drillholes are where I expect them to be.
[00:07:00.330] 
Using the slicer tool,
[00:07:01.990] 
I can then look at validating my model
[00:07:04.400] 
on a section by section basis.
[00:07:07.280] 
Here, I’m looking down on a Z section at the 852 RL.
[00:07:13.100] 
This shows that my mineralization model
[00:07:15.640] 
is following these development drives.
[00:07:20.400] 
If I step through a few more sections
[00:07:23.440] 
using the greater than or less than keys on my keyboard
[00:07:27.730] 
on a set step width,
[00:07:29.980] 
I can see the model changes at other RLs
[00:07:34.390] 
and how this matches my development.
[00:07:43.920] 
Alternatively, I can do this process
[00:07:47.050] 
on a vertical cross-section.
[00:07:49.700] 
Here, I am looking north through a slice of my model
[00:07:53.070] 
with development drives and drillholes.
[00:07:56.770] 
If I stepped through my model using the greater than
[00:07:59.990] 
or less than keys on my keyboard,
[00:08:03.950] 
you can visually validate that your model
[00:08:08.150] 
is matching those development drives
[00:08:11.610] 
and following any drillhole logging or assays.
[00:08:20.050] 
This method is one of the more traditional ways
[00:08:22.540] 
to validate a model and it can be quite time-consuming.
[00:08:27.030] 
Leapfrog also has some other unique tools
[00:08:29.680] 
that help you identify areas of your model
[00:08:32.000] 
that may require further investigation.
[00:08:35.550] 
The first tool I will show you
[00:08:37.040] 
is the correlation statistical tool.
[00:08:40.210] 
This shows you the correlation between the model geology
[00:08:43.550] 
and the log geology.
[00:08:46.170] 
To do this, you need to evaluate your mineralized model
[00:08:49.657] 
and your geological model onto your drillholes.
[00:08:54.300] 
You do this by right-clicking on your drillhole database
[00:08:59.040] 
and selecting new evaluation table.
[00:09:03.835] 
I have already completed this process
[00:09:06.660] 
and if I bring this evaluation of my mineralized domains
[00:09:10.660] 
into my scene and have a look,
[00:09:13.490] 
you can see it shows me
[00:09:16.410] 
where my mineralized domains are on my drillholes.
[00:09:25.530] 
Once I have a evaluation table set up,
[00:09:29.250] 
I then can come to their evaluation in my project tree,
[00:09:34.320] 
right-click and select statistics.
[00:09:41.030] 
This will bring up a correlation statistics table
[00:09:44.850] 
showing me my drilling lithology, my drilling length,
[00:09:50.180] 
my matching length, matching percent,
[00:09:54.870] 
non-matching length, and non-matching percent of my model.
[00:10:04.922] 
In this example,
[00:10:05.755] 
I’ve shown this for the mineralized vein system,
[00:10:08.700] 
but this can also be used to test an entire geological model
[00:10:12.620] 
to determine where more refinement is needed.
[00:10:19.970] 
Alternatively, you can create a merged table
[00:10:23.180] 
of your evaluated domains with your original assay data,
[00:10:27.790] 
and then look at the statistics
[00:10:29.770] 
to help validate your domains.
[00:10:32.920] 
You do this up here in the drillhole database,
[00:10:38.830] 
right-click on your drillholes and select new merged table.
[00:10:44.390] 
Again, I’ve already created this
[00:10:46.890] 
where I’ve merged my vein lithologies for my domain
[00:10:52.340] 
with my gold grades.
[00:10:56.420] 
I think can right-click on this table and select statistics.
[00:11:04.360] 
You then can choose which type of statistics
[00:11:06.757] 
you want to look at.
[00:11:08.380] 
Firstly, I’ll look at this table of statistics
[00:11:12.760] 
and this will open up a new tab showing you your domains
[00:11:19.000] 
with the mean grade, standard deviation, variance,
[00:11:23.630] 
and quantile data for each of your domain codes.
[00:11:34.210] 
You can also do this for a box plot.
[00:11:37.710] 
Again, right-click on your merged table, select statistics,
[00:11:44.100] 
choose the box plot option
[00:11:49.070] 
where you can view each of your domains as a box plot
[00:11:54.080] 
to get a visual indication of where any outliers are
[00:11:58.420] 
within your domains
[00:12:00.540] 
and the main grades of each of these domains.
[00:12:07.000] 
I’ve applied a log scale to this chart
[00:12:10.010] 
to help see this better
[00:12:12.840] 
as the status here is very negatively skewed.
[00:12:20.030] 
I can also have a look at the histogram of a single domain.
[00:12:24.780] 
This will allow me to examine the data distribution
[00:12:27.700] 
within the domain and check it’s forming a population
[00:12:31.130] 
that meets the assumptions of stationarity.
[00:12:34.540] 
This is where the mean and variance
[00:12:36.130] 
do not change across the domain
[00:12:38.700] 
and will enable it to be used in downstream estimation
[00:12:42.230] 
or numeric modeling.
[00:12:44.750] 
To do this, I come to the merged table, open it up,
[00:12:50.130] 
and come to the numeric data of interest,
[00:12:54.560] 
right-click and select statistics.
[00:12:59.330] 
This will open up a new tab
[00:13:03.240] 
showing us the histogram of the data.
[00:13:07.280] 
Here, I can apply a query filter.
[00:13:10.550] 
I’ve built one just for this 4,400 domain
[00:13:14.090] 
so I’m only looking at the data within that domain.
[00:13:18.650] 
I can then detach this
[00:13:25.890] 
and have a look at where some of the anomalous grades
[00:13:29.110] 
are occurring in my scene view.
[00:13:32.970] 
I will hide some of these estimation domains
[00:13:36.700] 
and demonstrate how you do this.
[00:13:39.770] 
So if I feel anything above this area was anomalous,
[00:13:44.300] 
I could highlight and then I could have a look in my scene
[00:13:49.490] 
to see if that is actually sporadic
[00:13:53.770] 
or is it forming another domain population.
[00:13:59.860] 
In relation to this 4,400,
[00:14:02.530] 
if I turn that on and turn down the translucency,
[00:14:08.570] 
I can see that this is pretty sporadic across my domain.
[00:14:16.060] 
I can reattach that tab
[00:14:20.370] 
and then I can also look at the histogram of the log
[00:14:26.116] 
or the cumulative histogram.
[00:14:35.340] 
Once you have a merged table
[00:14:37.420] 
of your evaluated domains with grade,
[00:14:40.440] 
you can then utilize query filters
[00:14:42.830] 
to test things in your model.
[00:14:45.900] 
Here in my scene, I have applied a query filter
[00:14:50.290] 
to show me where there are bearing grades
[00:14:52.780] 
included within my mineralized model.
[00:14:56.150] 
I’ve created this query filter
[00:14:58.200] 
by right-clicking on my merged table
[00:15:02.140] 
and selecting new query filter.
[00:15:05.810] 
I’ve previously built this so open this one up for you
[00:15:09.870] 
and you can see the syntax applied to build that query.
[00:15:14.530] 
We also have the easy build query function
[00:15:18.520] 
where you can come in and apply your query.
[00:15:22.020] 
Here, I’ve selected where my AU_PPM
[00:15:25.340] 
is less than or equal to 0.3
[00:15:30.890] 
and my estimation domains
[00:15:33.190] 
are within these four domains shown.
[00:15:37.210] 
We also have the advanced query filter builder
[00:15:41.030] 
that you can utilize for your project.
[00:15:47.130] 
Once I’ve built my query filter,
[00:15:49.110] 
I can drag and drop that in the scene
[00:15:51.570] 
and that query will be applied.
[00:15:54.210] 
You can also apply the query filter
[00:15:56.340] 
over here in your properties.
[00:16:00.330] 
If I zoom in and look around my project,
[00:16:03.430] 
I can now see areas that I need to go and investigate
[00:16:06.970] 
to understand why these barren grades have been included
[00:16:11.100] 
within my mineralized model.
[00:16:16.220] 
Next, I can use a similar process
[00:16:18.860] 
to test where I have mineralized grade
[00:16:21.690] 
that has not been included in my mineralized model.
[00:16:25.810] 
Here in the scene,
[00:16:26.680] 
you can see I have applied this query filter
[00:16:29.680] 
and I’ve built it by right-clicking again,
[00:16:33.380] 
selecting new query filter.
[00:16:38.670] 
And if I come into my prebuilt query filter, open that up,
[00:16:44.230] 
you can see I’ve done the reverse of our first one
[00:16:47.690] 
where I’ve said if it’s greater than or equal to 0.3
[00:16:52.140] 
and it’s not in our domains,
[00:16:55.100] 
then it’s considered mineralized outside of the domains.
[00:17:01.000] 
This is then being applied in my scene.
[00:17:04.750] 
And in this example,
[00:17:05.790] 
you can see there’s quite a lot outside my model.
[00:17:09.660] 
That is because there is actually quite a few
[00:17:13.336] 
unmodeled domains in this project.
[00:17:19.850] 
You can also use query filters to test areas of your model
[00:17:24.760] 
to see where geology code logged
[00:17:27.060] 
does not match geology modeled.
[00:17:30.870] 
To do this, I’ve created an evaluation of my host rock model
[00:17:36.300] 
and merged that with my geological lithology table.
[00:17:41.540] 
I’ve then built a query filter here
[00:17:44.260] 
to test where my end site is outside my model.
[00:17:49.660] 
If I have a look at my scene,
[00:17:51.580] 
I can rotate and zoom in on some of these areas,
[00:17:56.990] 
click on a hole and I can go and investigate
[00:17:59.930] 
why that is outside that geology unit.
[00:18:08.250] 
If I did want to examine a hole in more detail,
[00:18:11.400] 
I can use the drillhole correlation tool
[00:18:14.200] 
here under my drillhole database
[00:18:18.460] 
to examine in further detail.
[00:18:21.110] 
I right-click on this and select new drillhole set,
[00:18:25.200] 
which brings me out to a new drillhole set tab.
[00:18:28.830] 
I then select the pit color function,
[00:18:32.770] 
which will take me back to my scene view.
[00:18:35.900] 
I then choose my select drillhole button
[00:18:40.320] 
and choose the hole I’m interested.
[00:18:44.260] 
I then can click save
[00:18:46.810] 
and then it would appear here in my drillhole set layer
[00:18:52.340] 
where I can bring across my host rock
[00:18:56.630] 
model
[00:18:58.510] 
and my original logging.
[00:19:01.400] 
And then I can come in and identify
[00:19:04.700] 
why I have these different areas
[00:19:08.090] 
within my model versus my logging.
[00:19:14.120] 
The final validation step for any project
[00:19:17.290] 
is always to have your project peer reviewed
[00:19:19.920] 
by one of your colleagues.
[00:19:22.580] 
To do this, we are going to use Seequent Central.
[00:19:25.920] 
I will show you this briefly.
[00:19:28.120] 
However, we have another webinar on this
[00:19:30.560] 
that was completed earlier this year
[00:19:33.210] 
by one of my colleagues,
[00:19:34.540] 
so please feel free to check out this video recording
[00:19:37.690] 
on the Seequent website.
[00:19:40.400] 
To upload your project,
[00:19:42.140] 
you will need to be connected to the Central server.
[00:19:45.720] 
You can do so by connecting up here
[00:19:47.850] 
in your right-hand corner.
[00:19:50.210] 
Once you are connected, you select publish.
[00:19:59.010] 
You select which objects you would like to appear
[00:20:01.700] 
in your online web browser.
[00:20:06.740] 
Select next.
[00:20:09.240] 
Set your project workflow stage.
[00:20:11.780] 
I’m going to choose peer review for this one.
[00:20:14.930] 
Select next.
[00:20:17.520] 
Add in any revision notes for your colleagues
[00:20:21.390] 
and then select next to start the publish and upload.
[00:20:32.420] 
Once your project has finished publishing,
[00:20:35.350] 
it will say publish successful here in the dropdown menu,
[00:20:39.530] 
and it will be available for your colleagues to download
[00:20:43.070] 
if they have the right permissions and access to Central.
[00:20:48.110] 
It is also now available via the web browser
[00:20:53.690] 
for non-Leapfrog Geo users such as managers
[00:20:57.310] 
to review via Web-Verse and make comments.
[00:21:01.960] 
To do this, you can select go to portal
[00:21:09.040] 
and this will take you to the appropriate web browser
[00:21:13.720] 
where your project is stored.
[00:21:17.000] 
As you can see, it’s got the revision note
[00:21:20.300] 
saying please review this project.
[00:21:23.270] 
It’s got the stage of peer review
[00:21:26.240] 
and it’s got the user who uploaded that project.
[00:21:30.260] 
You can then select the project
[00:21:33.250] 
to view within the web browser,
[00:21:36.250] 
come to your geological model,
[00:21:38.900] 
open up your domains and have a look at these
[00:21:43.610] 
without needing access to a Leapfrog Geo license.
[00:21:57.260] 
Comments can then be made by clicking on this comment button
[00:22:04.040] 
and selecting add comments.
[00:22:06.670] 
These can be geo tagged on your domain
[00:22:11.200] 
and you can tag your colleagues here
[00:22:13.190] 
so they get an instant notification
[00:22:16.300] 
on any area to go and look at in further detail.
[00:22:23.400] 
That brings me to the conclusion of today’s webinar.
[00:22:27.020]
