Drilling remains the definitive – and often the most expensive – method for proving a resource. With budgets under pressure, every meter drilled must be deeply purposeful.
Inefficient drilling inflates early exploration costs and cascades into downstream extraction budgets. To accelerate timelines and control costs, you need a drillhole design workflow that is fast, precise, and dynamically tracks your metrics.
Session four in our Leapfrog Geo Mastery Series is designed to help you optimise your drillhole planning. Our Master will teach you to build rapid, precise, and budget-conscious drilling campaigns using the latest tools in Leapfrog Geo to:
🪨 Master grid planning: Use the new drillhole Grid Planner to interactively generate fully editable, gridded drilling campaigns from any surface, replacing slow, manual export-import workflows.
🪨 Target with precision: Use the new Collar & Target function to rapidly design holes with fixed start and end points while accounting for deviation—ideal for directional drilling or fan setups from a single collar.
🪨 Control your budget: Keep drilling programs within scope with auto-updating statistics that dynamically track hole counts and total meters as your designs change.
🪨 Anticipate deviation: Leverage existing survey data to assess historical deviation, allowing you to build data-driven designs informed by past hole performance.
🪨 Track compliance: Build distance buffers around multi-deviation holes to visualise spacing and track real-time drilling performance against your plan.
