Frank,
Brilliant piece of documentation, great to see somebody taking the time to document this work
Geobase has undertaken many of these jobs over the years. In fact we have recently been awarded a contract to create a comprehensive model of a historically significant large narrow vein Gold Mine. This work will include the extraction and incorporation of a significant amount of production data from historical records.
Micromine is certainly our choice of 3D modelling software to undertake this work.

Hi Col,
Great to hear from you, and thanks for the feedback. It's very much appreciated.
While I was writing this blog I did worry that it might not be relevant in today's digital world. However, since then we've received several inquiries from various corners of the world, and as you've also proven, people are still digitising historically significant mines. So I'm very relieved to discover that it's still relevant.
If you've got any suggestions or anecdotes from previous work, please feel free to share them here. :)
Frank
