3d modular software visualisation for geological modelling and mine planning . it is used by mining engineers geologists and mine surveyors . applications include 3d geological mapping and modelling mine design mine planning geotechnical analysis mine scheduling and optimisation mine rehabilitation . every ten years it has been completely re written to ensure that new techniques and algorithms are exploited in the software to ensure a modern vibrant mine planning system is maintained . the current version was created in about 2005 is written in c and c . already the architectural framework
