  • Built specifically for mining geology rather than general data management

Geoscience ANALYST

  • The free edition is a 3D viewer only; creating, editing, processing and interpreting objects requires a paid Pro licence
  • Capability is divided across four separate paid tiers, Pro, Pro Geophysics, Pro Geology and Pro HPC, so geophysical inversion and AI geological interpretation are separate purchases
  • No price is published for any Pro tier; the vendor must be contacted for cost and licensing
