Impala GeoModelling is a UK registered specialist 3D Geological Modelling consultancy, founded in 2016. Our experience in building advanced 3D Models has allowed customers in the mining industry to create an accurate foundation for resource estimation and mineral exploration targeting. We have worked with some of the worlds largest mining and exploration companies, as well as some of the smallest.

Impala creates 3D Models that draw on the maximum amount of geological data available to reflect the best understanding of a deposit that is possible. Where this information is not available, Impala has the skills to collect or manage the collection of the field data required to make a geologically grounded model. This is a key part of the modelling process, that adds confidence and value to a Mineral Resource estimate or exploration programme and has helped many of our listed clients to raise capital for further exploration activities. 

Based in the UK, Impala has clients and projects throughout the world, including Africa, Australia, Fenno-Scandinavia, Greenland and The Middle-East, as well as experience working with a broad variety of commodities and mineralisation styles. Impala's main aim is to provide all the skills, software and expertise required to build a geologically valid and defensible 3D model that will form a reliable base for a project to move forward.

TRAINING & TECHNICAL ADVICE

Impala Geo offers bespoke training in Leapfrog® Geo 3D Modelling software. Training can be conducted as part of the modelling process, with clients working with Impala staff during the creation of a model, giving clients the ability to make updates going forward. Training is also offered as a stand alone commission to help clients learn the skills required to confidently design and implement the best workflow for the modelling of their deposit. Training helps clients become confident users of Leapfrog® software, helping to produce geologically valid and useful outputs. Find out more.
