Free mining tool

Block model viewer for mining teams

Load a CSV block model export and orbit it in WebGL. The file is parsed in your browser and never leaves your machine, so it suits quick inspection, QA and reviews away from your desktop geology seat.

Load files

Columns are detected by header name, so most regular block model CSV exports load as-is. A synthetic gold deposit is loaded by default and rotates slowly until you interact with it.

Supported formats

  • Named columns - any CSV with X / Y / Z (or East / North / RL, centroid columns) and a grade column such as AU, CU, FE, AG, or GRADE. Block dimensions (DX/DY/DZ, XINC/YINC/ZINC) are used when present.
  • Typical CSV block model exports from GEOVIA Surpac, Maptek Vulcan, Datamine, Micromine, Seequent Leapfrog Edge, and Hexagon MinePlan load via the named-column detection above.
  • @X,@Y,@Z,…,@AU,@CU - at-prefixed exports; rendered with the default block size below.
  • id,x,y,z,dx,dy,dz,…,au - positional exports with per-block dimensions.
If you have a matching text file with grade ranges or export notes, it will be shown in the side panel.
Colour runs from blue at lower grade through green to red at higher grade, stretched so mid grades stay readable. If your export doesn't load, send us a sample header row and we'll add the format.

Controls

  • Left mouse + drag: rotate the model
  • Right mouse + drag: pan
  • Mouse wheel / trackpad: zoom
  • Demo: rotates slowly on load, then stops when you interact

Loading demo deposit

The page starts with a synthetic gold deposit: a dipping lode with high-grade shoots. It illustrates how a block model reveals grade distribution and geometry, rather than representing a resource estimate. Loading your own CSV replaces it.

Need more than a viewer?

We build custom mining software in Perth: bigger-model viewers with grade shells and slicing, pit progression visualisation, AI document search over your engineering estate, and integrations with the systems your site already runs. This free tool is a small sample of that work.
