Close the gap between uncertainty and action

This tool helps geologists assess drillhole spacing and identify areas of uncertainty. Users can generate distance outputs as point files, coloured wireframe vertices, or volumes, and create buffer zones at defined distances. Outputs can also be constrained within solids for targeted analysis. By visualising data distribution, geologists can quickly highlight under-sampled zones, guide infill drilling decisions, and improve model support and classification confidence, With the Distance to Drillhole Tool, you're one step closer to confident drilling decisions.
