Mineral exploration database: every borehole, sample and assay in one place
Minocular Mineral Exploration keeps exploration data in one cloud database: projects and phases, borehole collars, drilling logs, lithology, samples, assay results and downhole surveys. Data comes in through Excel templates checked by a validation engine, and comes out as dashboards, borehole strip logs, regulatory reports and a block model view.
What Mineral Exploration delivers
Mineral Exploration is one part of the Minocular platform.
All capabilities share one equipment list, one shift calendar and one set of reports. Most mines start with one capability and add others later without a second integration.

Questions about mineral exploration
What data does the exploration database hold?
Exploration projects and phases, borehole collars (coordinates, depth, inclination, azimuth), drilling logs, lithology intervals, samples, assay results by parameter and downhole surveys, all under the company, mine and project hierarchy.
Can we bring data from our drilling or lab software?
Yes. Data is loaded through Excel templates, and because the database uses the standard from–to interval model, exports from most drilling and lab software map onto it.
What does the validation engine check?
Mandatory columns, data types and date formats, values against reference masters, duplicate hole or sample IDs, overlapping or missing intervals and depths beyond the final hole depth. Rejected rows come back in an error report so only the corrected rows need re-uploading.
Does it connect to the rest of Minocular?
Yes. Exploration runs on the same platform as fleet, drilling, blasting and quality, so assay grades, the block model and the mine plan sit with the operating data of the same mine.
Is this module live?
Mineral Exploration is a new product line built on the Minocular platform. Book a demo to see the screens and discuss your data.
