Invest in Yourself

at the 2013 Maptek Users Conference

21-23 October, 2013 | Stamford Plaza | Brisbane, Queensland

The Maptek Invest in Yourself 2013 Users Conference offers 3 days of presentations and hands on workshops with the latest Maptek technology for mining.
Preview Vulcan 9 which will deliver implicit modelling, underground and stratigraphic modelling upgrades. Hear real-world cases studies from colleagues and Maptek staff. Participate in discussion forums for Vulcan development beyond version 9. Be the first to see the new PerfectDig augmented reality system for excavation and design compliance. Get hands-on experience with all of the I-Site laser scanning survey hardware and software and discover how these systems are targeting mine productivity. Find out how BlastLogic helps you manage your drill & blast process. Bring along your site data for a technical surgery session with a Maptek expert, provide product feedback and network with colleagues.

Program Highlights
PRESENTATIONS
VULCAN - Implicit modelling & support analysis
Discover the new Implicit Modelling tool coming in Vulcan 9. Learn the theory and common applications of Support Analysis in an interactive presentation. Related workshops - Support Analysis; Implicit Modelling; Enhanced grade estimation with LVA.

WORKSHOPS
VULCAN - Stratigraphic modelling
Learn from real world scenarios where stratigraphic modelling produces the best result. Maptek stratigraphic modelling expert Peter Odins will lead you through examples, with all users taking away practical knowledge for real world application.

VULCAN - Enhanced grade estimation with LVA

Learn how to use LVA from Maptek geostatistics expert Julian Cosson. This hands on workshop will teach you the theory behind LVA, the applications it is best used for and how to apply it to your site. Data will be provided on USB to enable you to practice these techniques when you return to site.

VULCAN - Establishing a new mine with Vulcan

A Vulcan customer will share how they established a new mine with Vulcan. Learn from their experiences and discover new techniques and methods. Related workshops - Vulcan technical surgery; Open cut coal design refresher; Make the most of Boolean.

VULCAN - Strat modelling for non-coal deposits

Are you working on a non-coal deposit but still want to use stratigraphic modelling? Maptek resource geologist Anthony Bottrill will lead you through various approaches for applying stratigraphic modelling to iron ore and overburden modelling. Ideal for anyone wanting to improve their stratigraphic modelling knowledge.

VULCAN - Modelling coal geology

This case study will provide you insights into the issues involved in developing a suitable life of mine geological coal model that could be used in long term mine planning. Related workshops - Open cut coal design refresher; Triblocking for reconciliation and EOM.

VULCAN - Open cut coal design refresher

Refresh your knowledge of open cut coal design. Maptek Vulcan technical services consultant Stephen Hoefler will take you through every step, starting with database set up and through to final design and reserve generation.

VULCAN - Dragline in action for iron ore operation

Learn how FMG applies Vulcan dragline tools to improve efficiency at their iron ore operation. Related workshop - Vulcan technical surgery.

VULCAN - Underground design & ring design

Learn about the new underground tools to be offered in Vulcan 9 which will help turn around your productivity when creating underground designs and generating ring designs.

VULCAN - Haulage profile & optimisation

This case study will provide you with new ideas to improve haulage routes and productivity. Discover how this mine site has optimised their operation. Related workshops - Open cut coal design refresher; Triblocking for reconciliation and EOM.

VULCAN - Triblocking for reconciliation & EOM

Learn how to apply triblocking to end of month reporting and reconciliation analysis, including underbreak/overbreak calculations.

BLASTLOGIC - Take control of drill & blast

Learn how BlastLogic has improved productivity across 6 BHP BMA sites in QLD. Gain practical knowledge to increase product recovery. Related workshops - Defining charge rules for through seam blasting; One on one product demonstration.

I-SITE - Geotechnical tools

The latest geotechnical tools in I-Site Studio cover every need for structural analysis and operational safety. Learn how to apply them at your operation.

I-SITE - Surface and underground workflows

From data capture to reporting, I-Site systems provide the fastest field to finish workflow. Learn to exploit the powerful tools to help improve your operational productivity and safety.

I-SITE - Geotechnical highwall survey

Hear how Anglo Coal uses I-Site laser scanners and I-Site Studio software to perform geotechnical studies on their highwall. Related workshops - Workflows for survey applications; End of month reporting and reconciliation; Latest geotechnical survey techniques and tools.

I-SITE - Hardware demonstrations

Tips and tricks on set up and operation of I-Site laser scanners.

I-SITE - Mine rehabilitation applications

This case study will outline how I-Site technology is applied to monitoring waste landforms and tailings dams. Related workshop - Survey monitoring techniques and tools.
