3D Drill Hole Visualization

Your drill results in 3D, live the minute you release them.

Interval-IQ turns your collar, survey and assay tables into an interactive 3D viewer that runs on your own website — and updates the moment your news release crosses the wire.

Above: all 159 holes at the Argus Gold System, on Onyx Gold’s own site. Click it to see it full size — then book a walkthrough and we’ll drive the live viewer over your own drill results.

Why It Matters

A table of intercepts is not a discovery story.

You spend millions turning rock into data. Then the market meets that data as a row of numbers in a news release, and has to imagine the deposit for itself. Most investors can't — and the ones who can are your competitors' analysts.

01

Investors don't read drill tables

"12.4 m of 3.1 g/t from 186 m" means something to a geologist and almost nothing to a retail or generalist institutional investor. In 3D, the same hole is a visible hit inside a growing zone — the geometry does the explaining.

02

Your geology is your differentiator

Continuity, orientation, depth, and how each new hole extends the system are the whole argument for your valuation. A viewer shows continuity honestly — including where the holes are, and where they aren't.

03

The release is the moment

Attention peaks in the hours after the wire crosses, then decays. A viewer that updates a week later has missed the audience it was built for. Ours goes live with the release.

How It Works

Send us a drill table. Get a viewer on your site.

No software to license, no seats to buy, no plugin for your investors to install. It's a web page — it works on a phone in an airport lounge.

STEP 01

You send the data

Collar, survey and assay tables in whatever you already keep them in — Excel, CSV, an acQuire or Datamine export, even historic paper logs we can capture for you.

STEP 02

We build the viewer

We validate the data, handle the coordinate system and projection, colour by grade or lithology, add terrain, and brand it to your corporate identity. Typically 5–10 business days.

STEP 03

It appears on your site

We host and maintain the viewer; you embed it in your own page with one line of HTML. Your investors stay on your website, at your URL — and we can push an update within hours of your release without touching your site or waiting on your web team.

STEP 04

Releases go live together

New results are staged under embargo and reviewed before the wire. When the release goes out, the viewer flips live with it — no scramble, no stale numbers.

Gallery

What your investors will see.

Screenshots from viewers built on published collar, survey and assay data. Every one runs in the browser — click any hole for its card, drag to rotate, draw a line for a section. Book a walkthrough and we’ll drive the live viewer over your own results.

What's In A Viewer

Everything an investor needs. Nothing they have to install.

True 3D drill traces

Plotted from your published collar, azimuth, dip and downhole survey — with projected traces visually distinguished from surveyed ones.

Grade-coloured intervals

Composite or interval grades rendered on the trace with your own cut-offs and colour ramp, plus gram-metre or metal-equivalent filtering.

Hole cards on click

Collar coordinates, elevation, azimuth, dip, end-of-hole, vertical depth and reported intercepts — the full disclosure record, one click away.

Plan, section and oblique views

Snap to looking-north, plan, or a preset oblique, with adjustable vertical exaggeration for shallow or flat-lying systems.

Terrain and surface imagery

A DEM surface with your claim outline, geology map or satellite image draped over it, so the collars sit in real topography.

News-release filtering

Pick a headline from the drop-down and the viewer shows exactly the holes that release was about — so an investor can walk your results release by release.

Embedded in your site

One line of HTML puts it in your own page, styled to your brand. Visitors never leave your website — and because we host it, updates go live within hours of your release, with no deployment on your side.

Phone, tablet and boardroom

One responsive page: touch-rotate on a phone, full-screen on a conference projector, embeddable in a slide deck or data room.

Disclosure-aware

Only published, disclosed data goes in. QA/QC notes, cut-off statements and QP attribution travel with the viewer where required.

Pricing

One setup fee. One monthly plan.

Three tiers, separated by how fast your results go live and how far we customize the viewer. Every tier is hosted and maintained by us and embedded in your own site, and every tier is built by the people who understand your geology — not a support queue.

All prices in USD; CAD billing available. All plans carry a 12-month minimum term. News-release updates and data updates are counted separately, per calendar quarter, and don’t carry over. A data update changes what the viewer shows — a revised property boundary, corrected data, an added layer. Copper includes three of each and carries publicly disclosed data only; Silver and Gold include unlimited news-release updates and stage embargoed data until your named sign-off. Extra releases are $750 on Copper; extra data updates are $750 on Copper and $500 on Silver and Gold. Gold’s custom change is a different thing again: it changes what the viewer does. Updates are processed one at a time — if you send another before the previous one is live, its turnaround starts when the previous one publishes. Pay the year up front instead of month to month and save 15% — Copper $18,250, Silver $23,350, Gold $40,500 for the first year including setup. Setup is one-time and covers data validation, coordinate-system handling, terrain, branding and launch. Imagery and DEM add-ons are quoted on area and sensor availability, and pass the data licence through to you.

Imagery & Terrain

Current imagery, not a ten-year-old basemap.

Most project pages still show a satellite image collected before the road was cut. We task new high-resolution optical imagery over your property and pair it with a commercial digital elevation model, then drape it under your drill holes so the collars, trenches, camp and access roads sit exactly where they are today.

  • 30 cm optical imagery, newly tasked or recent archive
  • Commercial DEMs from 12 m down to sub-metre, or your own drone survey
  • Claim boundaries, geology, geophysics and soil grids draped as layers
  • Before-and-after captures across a drill season or construction period
  • Full data licence passed through to you — the imagery is yours to reuse

Why it changes the pitch

  1. It proves activity. Fresh imagery showing pads, roads and a camp is evidence a project is real and moving — the cheapest credibility you can buy.
  2. It puts the geology in context. Structures, alteration and topography read together; investors see why the holes were collared where they were.
  3. It's reusable everywhere. The same imagery feeds your corporate deck, news release figures, NI 43-101 maps and site tour.
  4. It amortizes. Ordering minimums make one-off requests expensive; we batch client tasking orders to keep the per-project cost down.

Release-day pipeline

  1. Upload. Your geologist drops the updated collar, survey and assay tables into a secure client portal — the same format every time.
  2. Validate. The pipeline checks projections, duplicate hole IDs, survey gaps, overlapping intervals and out-of-range grades, and reports back in minutes.
  3. Preview under embargo. A private staging link renders the updated viewer for your QP and IR lead to sign off before anything is public.
  4. Publish on the wire. You confirm the release time; the viewer flips live with it. No manual rebuild, no stale numbers, no weekend scramble.
  5. Archive. Every published state is versioned, so you can show the market exactly what was disclosed and when.
Automation

Built for the hour your release goes out.

The hard part of drill-result visualization isn't the 3D. It's doing it again, correctly, under time pressure, every time a release drops — while your geologist is in the field and your IR lead is on the phone.

So we automated it. On Gold, the pipeline runs end to end from your upload. On Silver, we run the same pipeline for you and hold the update under embargo until the wire crosses. Either way, nobody is rebuilding a model at 6 a.m. on release day.

Nothing is published without a named sign-off from your side. Embargoed data sits on a private staging instance, never on a public URL.

Questions

The things people ask on the first call.

What data do you need from us to get started?

Three tables: collars (hole ID, easting, northing, elevation, azimuth, dip, total depth), downhole surveys if you have them, and your assay intervals with from/to and grades. Excel or CSV is fine, as are exports from acQuire, Datamine, Leapfrog or MX Deposit. If your historic data only exists on paper, we can capture it — see the add-on pricing.

Where does the viewer actually live?

We host it, and you embed it in your own page with a single line of HTML. To your investors it is part of your website — your URL, your branding, your navigation — and they never leave your site. Keeping the hosting on our side is what makes fast updates possible: when your release crosses the wire we publish, with no deployment on your side and no waiting on your web developer. Gold publishes the same day; Silver within 72 hours.

How do you handle unreleased results?

Embargoed data stays on a private staging instance behind authentication, never on a public URL, and nothing publishes without a named sign-off from your side. We are routinely inside the disclosure window on client work and treat material information accordingly. We'll sign your NDA and, where you want it, an insider-trading and confidentiality undertaking.

Is this NI 43-101 compliant?

A viewer is a presentation of data you have already disclosed — it isn't a technical report and doesn't replace one. We only publish disclosed results, carry your cut-off, compositing and QA/QC statements through to the viewer, and attribute the Qualified Person who approved the underlying disclosure. Your QP reviews before anything goes live.

How is this different from VRIFY or a Mining Hub profile?

Those are platforms: your project lives on their portal, in their template, next to other companies, and the deeper capability carries an enterprise price. Ours is embedded in your own page under your own brand, built around your project rather than dropped into a template, and your investors never land on a directory of other companies. We also treat release-day timing as the product, not a feature — on Silver and Gold your results are live the day you release them; Gold takes your data until 3:00 p.m. Pacific that morning, Silver needs it 72 hours ahead.

What happens if we stop?

Your data is yours and always was — we return it in the format you gave it to us, plus any digitizing or validation we did along the way, at no charge. The viewer itself is our software and stays with us, so the embed stops rendering when the term ends. Twelve-month minimum, then month to month. If you want a permanent copy of a viewer to keep, that's a buy-out we'll quote — ask before you sign rather than after.

How fast can a first viewer be live?

Five to ten business days from receiving clean data for a Copper-tier build. If you have a release or a conference coming up, tell us the date on the first call — we've built to tighter deadlines than that.
