Leapfrog Training

Learn how Leapfrog was meant to be used from the conceptual founder of Leapfrog

Leapfrog software was designed as a practical geological tool to be used daily by geologists in the exploration and mining industries (see leapfrog3d.com). Leapfrog departs from the time-consuming CAD-based methods of all other generalised mining packages. Leapfrog represents a revolutionary breakthrough in modelling techique as the software is able to geologically model directly from drillhole data without the need for tedious sectional digitisation. Geological models can be generated in hours. Prestologic can show you how to model efficiently because we have the most practical experience with the software.

Leapfrog foundation tutorial sessions

Leapfrog basics can be learned by taking a two-day tutorial session. Details can be changed according to need, but familiarity with the basics is required for competent use of Leapfrog to model directly from drillhole data.

A typical two-day program is listed below:

Day 1

Morning (4 hours)

Introduction to Leapfrog
Importing drillhole data
Compositing and desurveying
Default isotropic interpolation
Domaining using the topography dataset
Minimum distance interpolant and how it can be effectively used in exploration and mine modelling
Nested domaining
Applying anisotropy to the data and what it means
Leapfrog’s fast drawing tool
Advanced interpolation settings and when and how to use them
Importance of object symmetry and how it relates to structural and geological interpretation
Projection technique of grade data visualisation

Afternoon (4 hours)

Leapfrog grade interpolation basics using other example datasets
Determining the axial orientation of a deposit using the projection technique
Modelling using the fast drawing tool
Fast grade estimation in Leapfrog 2
Grade interpolation and targeting exercises
Geological interpretation and modelling exercises

Day 2

Morning (4 hours)

The principles of lithological modelling in Leapfrog
Classifying lithological data in Leapfrog
Lithological code data filtering
Controlling lithological contacts with the drawing tool
Introduction to vein modelling
Introduction to structural trend modelling for grade and lithological modelling

Afternoon (4 hours)

Lithological modelling excercises
Client data modelling

Advanced Leapfrog tutorial sessions

Advanced tutorial sessions of Leapfrog can be arranged in addition to the two days of basic training. These sessions can be used to model data provided by the client and to resolve practical exploration and mining problems. Contact us about the benefits of advanced Leapfrog tutorial sessions.
