Deposit Modeling and Mine Planning System

MicroMODEL is a full-featured deposit modeling and mine planning system. MicroMODEL is a low-cost alternative to the complicated, high-priced mine planning software systems that are available. It is easy to use, and offers most of the functionality of these other systems. We urge you to compare the features of MicroMODEL to Gemcom, MineSight, DataMine, etc. You'll find MicroMODEL does most of what these systems can do at a fraction of the cost. Plus, it is much easier to learn and use. Many of these high priced systems require several weeks of training in order to use them effectively.

MicroMODEL software is specifically geared towards the Exploration and Evaluation stages of mineral property development. It contains modules for data entry, surface modeling, rock modeling, compositing, 3-D grade modeling or Seam modeling, open pit design, grade-thickness calculation, file management, and 3-D Display.  MicroMODEL is suitable for both hard-rock and industrial minerals deposits.

MicroMODEL was originally developed in 1984. Martin & Associates continues to enhance its capabilities. In our latest round of upgrades, we have added 3-D display capabilities. The user can export 3-D DXF entities to AutoCAD, create facet files that can be displayed with the Freeware program ParaView, or the user can choose to display 3-D output via MicroMODEL's own 3-D viewer.
