Target for ArcGIS Features

Target for ArcGIS provides these surface and drillhole mapping features within ESRI’s ArcView:

Subsurface 3D viewer

Functionality for viewing sub-surface data in three dimensions within ArcGIS simplifies the visualization and analysis of subsurface drillhole and borehole geology data within an ESRI environment

Data import

Easy-to-use import wizards enable you to import drillhole data from different data sources, including ASCII, ODBC and Metech’s acQuire. Import data from CAD and GIS packages such as Microstation, DXF formats and MapInfo. Data validation on import ensures the integrity of any sub-surface information generated.

Drillhole plans and sections

Easily create and recreate drillhole sections and plans in minutes, using Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) with sensible default settings. Routinely visualize thousands of drillholes at a time.

Powerful data processing

Target for ArcGIS includes Geosoft’s Oasis montaj™ powerful processing engine, which deploys industry-standard technology for processing large volumes of exploration data for target generation.

Dynamic data linking

Analyze and interrogate drillhole data in real time via dynamically linked sections, plans and database views.

Surface mapping

Use our function-rich gridding routines, to create grids and contour maps using point sample datasets (such as stream, soil, rock and geophysical data) from a variety of raw data sources (ASCII, Excel, Access, and acQuire). Easy-to-use design wizards simplify the creation of grids and contours.

Surface and drillhole data integration

Combine drillhole data with all other surface data and information to create detailed, integrated surface and subsurface maps.

Strip log feature to improve management and visualization

Use Target’s strip log feature to create scaled graphical strip log display of selected holes or the entire drillhole project. Utilize up to 32 graphical fields to display down hole data.

Professional map production

Use the full featured dynamic contouring algorithm with gradient feathering and extensive labeling control for professional quality presentation results.  Quickly create multiple and varied types of maps, including gridded maps, surface maps, posted value maps, and sub-location maps.
