Specialist Geo Modelling Consultancy

3D Geological Modelling Expertise & Masterclasses in Leapfrog Geo

Most mining operations have Leapfrog Geo, but few have established, audit-ready modelling workflows. We help exploration and mine geology teams eliminate software bottlenecks, standardise processes, and build accurate, production-ready 3D models.

An accurate 3D model impacts the entire mining value chain—from drill targeting and resource estimation to mine planning and reconciliation. However, many teams struggle to implement reliable 3D modelling processes due to a lack of standardised workflows, complex legacy data, or high staff turnover. We bridge that gap by offering practical technical consulting, process reviews, and specialised masterclasses designed specifically for practising geologists.

How We Work

We specialise in developing in-house modelling capabilities using Leapfrog Geo. Whether you need immediate troubleshooting on a complex deposit, team-wide workflow optimisation, or ongoing project reviews, our services adapt to your operational setup.

1. Advanced Masterclasses & Workshops

Intensive, topic-specific live training designed for working geologists. Rather than basic software navigation, our masterclasses focus on solving real operational challenges: handling complex structural faulting, eliminating processing lag on large datasets, and quality-control auditing.

Group workshops for exploration and mine site teams
Custom technical training built around your site's deposit data
On-demand technical video libraries for internal team onboarding

2. Mentoring & In-House Upskilling

Long-term operational efficiency relies on a capable internal team. We work alongside your modelling geologists, mentoring them through active project cycles to ensure all structural, assay, and drillhole data is correctly interpreted in 3D space.

Structured 1-on-1 and small group mentoring sessions
Hands-on guidance during active model updates or resource reviews
Practical troubleshooting for complex contact logic and interpolation settings

3. Process Improvement & Workflow Standardisation

We review your existing modelling setup to identify bottlenecks, data management errors, and software inefficiencies. We then design clear, standardised Leapfrog workflows tailored to your specific geology and operational requirements.

Independent geological model reviews and sanity checks
Custom workflow documentation (SOPs) for site teams
Setup of reproducible project trees for smooth peer reviews and audits

4. Ongoing Project Support & Auditing

Geological models require continuous updates as new drill data arrives. We provide flexible, ongoing support to review model updates, troubleshoot software errors, and verify that your implicit models accurately reflect the physical geology.

Regular project file reviews prior to major updates
Ad-hoc technical support for site geologists when projects hit bottlenecks

Technical Masterclasses & Workshops

Live, practical sessions for practising geologists and resource specialists — built around real deposit data, not basic software navigation.

A practical workflow for integrating multi-disciplinary 3D datasets, isolating drill targets, and planning optimised drillhole paths directly within Leapfrog Geo.

Who We Are

We are senior geologists with over 30 years of combined international experience across exploration, open-pit, and underground mining operations. Having worked directly for major mining companies, software vendors, and independent consultancies, we understand the practical realities of site geology and structural modelling.

Inna Popova

Senior Geologist | 17 Years Experience

Inna specialises in 3D modelling process setup, workflow standardisation, and cross-team communication. Her background spans oil and gas, mining operations, and geology software support. Having implemented modelling standards for companies across Australia, Europe, Central Asia, and Russia, she focuses on building clear, repeatable modelling workflows that reduce operational risk and keep site teams aligned.

Ivan Naumenko

Senior Geologist | 15 Years Experience

Ivan brings extensive hands-on experience in exploration, mine production, and technical software training. Having worked on open-pit and underground operations for major mining companies across Europe, Asia, and Australia, he specialises in data QA/QC, structural modelling, and technical troubleshooting in Leapfrog Geo. His focus is helping site geologists solve complex modelling problems and optimise project performance.
