A practical drilling database has to be comprehensive to ensure capture of all data as it becomes available.  Terracad can assist the client by designing programs for use in the field by surveyors and core logging and sampling personnel.  Geological observations (rock types, alteration, mineralization, colour, texture), sample locations and descriptions, and, when available, analytical data, can be supported by various built in reminder prompts and, once entered into the database, are available for a myriad of uses by field personnel, and office and IR staff.  Graphic displays can be rotated for concept and colour palets can be modified for emphasis and to assist in visualization.  Three dimensional depictions facilitate planning and interpretation and, particularly when analyses are added, can be of immense use in spotting trends and areas of insufficient drilling density. 

Terracad can advise the client concerning both hardware and software and can instruct would-be users prior to going in the field.  Users are encouraged to relay their newly acquired data to the client's home office to ensure against loss and to enable maximum exchange of information.
