Geosoft recently released new CET Grid Analysis software, developed by The University of Western Australia’s Centre for Exploration Targeting and supported by Barrick Gold. CET Grid Analysis, designed for mineral exploration geophysicists and geologists looking for discontinuities within magnetic and gravity data, is being marketed and distributed by Geosoft as a new Oasis montaj plus third party extension.
CET Grid Analysis provides a step-by-step trend detection menu that offers Texture analysis-based image enhancement, suitable for analyzing regions of subdued magnetic or gravity responses where texture analysis can first enhance the local data contrast, and Discontinuity structure detection, useful in identifying linear discontinuities and edge detection.
The sophisticated algorithms behind CET Grid Analysis were created by the Geophysics and Image Analysis Group at CET, part of the UWA’s School of Earth and Environment. CET is supported through a partnership between UWA, Curtin University of Technology, and the mineral exploration industry.
CET Grid Analysis has become an indispensable tool for Barrick Gold in its African gold mines around Lake Victoria in Tanzania in Africa.
