Improving Automated Geological Logging of Drill Holes by Incorporating Multiscale Spatial Methods

Abstract: Manually interpreting multivariate drill hole data is very time-consuming, and different geologists will produce different results due to the subjective nature of geological interpretation. Automated or semi-automated interpretation of numerical drill hole data is required to reduce time and subjectivity of this process. However, results from machine learning algorithms applied to drill holes, without reference to spatial information, typically result in numerous small-scale units. These small-scale units resu… Show more

“…In the mineral exploration context, Hill and Uvarova (2018) [5] extracted geological information from geochemical data derived from exploration drill holes and generated pseudologs with less misclassifications when compared with geologists logging of the same drill cores. Both of those applications were using univariate datasets, and more recently, a multivariate version of the wavelet tessellation method, Data Mosaic, is described in Hill et al (2020) [4] which is accessible through the Data Mosaic web app (https://datamosaic.geoanalytics.group/) (access date: 28 January 2021).…”

“…Hill et al, (2020) [4] highlight that success in generating pseudologs utilising the Data Mosaic method is dependent on factors including: regular sampling intervals at the highest possible resolution; at least one pure (nonmixed) sample for correct classification of rock units (i.e., the smallest lithology intersection must be at least two sampling intervals in length); the careful selection of variables that represent geological processes of interest for the application. For example, if the goal is primary rock type classification, then selection of immobile elements is more appropriate than trace metals or highly mobile elements.…”
