Strategy….
• To develop : -
Low End
Wide Distribution
Components with
High End Functionality
• Why: To increase the participation in the spatial game by
empowering users and enhancing access to data and tools.
SpatialXL progress in the last year
• SpatialXL: Went from 2.0.8 to 3.4.1.
• Some of the most notable new features:
• Work with ModelMaker, Surfer, read tag sets of DGNs and blocks for DWGs and DXFs.
• Read and write to SQL Server and Oracle seamlessly.
• Analytics enhancements when filtering data in Excel
• Surface building, contouring (with colour fills) and borehole desurveying.
• Construction of walls and dumps.
• Cut and fill with perimeter and reports.
• Concurrent licensing.
• Supports 64 bit Office.
• Continuous bug fixes and performance enhancements.
MineModeller progress in the last year
• MineModeller: Went from 1.0.0 to 2.5.1
• Most notable new features:
• Instrument interface: Survey instruments like Leica and Topcon.
• Pillar safety factor calculations using Salamon Munro and Bieniawski formulae
• Offline mining reports results in a grid with pillar safety calcs
• Perimeter in cut and fill
• Ability to generate filled shapes in contouring
• Bug fixes and performance enhancements.
• Planned features (next 3 months)
• Import and export from various mine technical formats: surpac, dm, modelmaker direct.
• Load and save back to Oracle and SQL Server database (MineDB)
• Gyros, helmert transformations.
MAX (Mine Actualisation in Excel)
• MineDesignXL and ScheduleXL
• Project documentation completed.
• Funding secured.
• Development underway…
• Completed Lerchs-Grossman pit optimisation with arc building.
• Underground mining block evaluation and simple design tools completed.
(Extrusion, tunnel building and segmentation.)
• 31 May 2012 deadline for Basic Mine Design for open pit and underground
mining.
• 6 months: Basic Scheduling, then next 6 months Advanced Scheduling.
• PROJECT DEADLINE: 31 May 2013.

SpatialXL (www.SpatialXL.com)
• SpatialXL is an add-in to Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010 which gives Excel full graphics
capability and the ability to read and save to almost any mining graphics and general
graphics format and databases.
• Spatial Analytics in Excel.
MineModeller (www.MineModeller.com)
• MineModeller is a Microstation add-in which fully integrates with Microstation and which
contains full Microstation peg handling, offsetting and surface building features.
• MineModeller stores its pegs in a SQL Server database or Oracle database and also in a
SQL Lite database
for stand alone
implementations,
thus allowing pegs
to be securely
stored and tracked
as well as being
shared by multiple
users.
SpatialOffice (1)
Embed interactive spatial scene in Microsoft products such as PowerPoint.
SpatialOffice (2)
Then edit the scene…
SpatialOffice (3)
The scene pops out in a floating window…
SpatialOffice (4)
Here you can open grids, rotate, select etc…
SpatialOffice (5)
When you save the presentation, the image changes on your PowerPoint presentation also.
SpatialVU Explorer (1)
SpatialVU Explorer: Rich client internet explorer add-in allowing manipulation and viewing of spatial data.
SpatialVU Explorer (2)
You can rotate, pop out grids, select…
SpatialVU Explorer (3)
All inside a web page!
MineDB / SpatialServerDB
• MineDB is a complete enterprise Spatial Mining Database. It is totally integrated with
Microsoft SQL Server and soon will be with Oracle as well.
• It has native support for major mining objects including:
• All 2D and 3D Spatial objects including Line strings, Polygons, Point sets and DTMs or Triangulated
surfaces
• Boreholes and their surveys
• Boreholes Assays
• Histograms
• Experimental 2D and 3D Variograms
• 2D and 3D Variogram models (Including Spherical, Exponential, Hole)
• Krige and/or any estimation grids
• Coordinate transformations (For palinspastic reconstruction etcetera)
• Pegs
• Raster images.
MineDB example
An example of using
MineDB to bring
data up to true
elevation by
applying a transform
to the data.
MineWPETL / SpatialWPETL
• MineWPETL is a spatial workflow processing extraction transform and load engine. It is fully scriptable
using Microsoft’s advanced PowerShell administration scripting. With MineWPETL you can automate
spatial loading and conversion
tasks, even between computers.
• Example: Here we extract
level 25 from a DGN file and
transform from LO 27 with
false northings and eastings
and save to a SQL Server
Spatial table.
This could also have been
done to Oracle.
SpatialServerWeb
WMS compliant web server with 3D extensions.
Outputs images to any browser.
Can also output vector graphics for use by the SpatialVU explorer.
SpatialParts
SpatialReportServer
SharePoint Web Parts allowing easy inclusion of 3D spatial content in SharePoint sites.
SQL Server Reporting Services add-in allows design of spatial reports inside SQL Server
Reporting Services.
