Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to install to see the 3D models or sections?

Corebox uses Adobe Flash to display it's interactive tools. You can download the plugin quickly from the link below. Flash is used by millions of people worldwide. In fact, research shows that more than 80% of PCs and Macs have Flash installed.

I have Flash installed, how come I can't see your tools?

Try upgrading your version of Flash. Corebox recommends using the latest version. The 3d support within Flash has improved substantially from the earlier versions.

Where does the data come from to make these displays?

Companies provide the data. We need a minimum of two files. A) a collar file that describes the location where the hole was drilled, its direction, and its ending depth; B) a table of composite or published intercepts with the from and to depths and the average grade of the interval.

In some cases where the drill holes have bent (deviated) significantly, companies provide a downhole survey file that describes the azimuth and dip at various points down the hole.

How do I know the displays are accurate?

If you have questions about the data displayed, you're best to get in touch with the company. Corebox can not verify the accuracy of the data.

How are high grade intervals shown within a larger interval?

The cross sections show subintervals when you point your mouse at an intercept. The sub interval is shown as a different coloured intercept within a longer interval. Currently, the 3D model does not show subintervals.
