AI agent for geologists

Drillhole Data Validation Agent

Only validated drillhole data enters the database

Drillhole Data Validation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Drilling programs produce collar locations, downhole surveys, geological logs and assay results from different people and labs, and one bad interval can distort a resource model. This agent checks each new batch before it enters the database. It compares collars with planned positions and looks for surveys with impossible bends. It checks log and assay intervals for gaps, overlaps, depths beyond the hole and assays without matching samples. It evaluates lab quality control: standards, blanks and duplicates. Problems go to the logging geologist or lab with specific questions or re-assay requests, and it rechecks the fixed batch. Before loading, it checks the batch against holes already in the database for duplicate IDs. The geologist approves loading. Edge case: a standard that fails by a small margin triggers re-assay of nearby samples rather than the whole batch.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

  1. New data batch arrives
  2. Check collars against plan and surveys for bends
  3. Check log and assay intervals for gaps and overlaps
  4. Evaluate standards, blanks and duplicates

  6. Compare hole IDs with the existing database
  7. Is the batch free of duplicate holes and IDs?If not: merge or rename with the geologist's input. Back to step 6.

How it decides

It rejects intervals that overlap or exceed hole depth, surveys with bends above the limit, and assay batches where QC fails the set limits.

  • Reject overlapping or too-deep intervals
  • Request re-assay around failed standards
  • Flag collars beyond the set distance from plan

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • QC limits for standards (default 3 standard deviations)
  • Maximum survey bend
  • Collar tolerance
  • Report format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Loading data to the database
  • Requesting re-assays at cost

Hard limits

  • Never edits the master database directly
  • Never deletes original files

It stops when

  • Done: batch loaded
  • Stop: lab does not provide QC data; hold the batch

An example run

What happensA batch of 412 assays arrived on June 6. The QC check failed: one gold standard was 3.1 standard deviations high, and hole 23 had two overlapping log intervals. The agent requested re-assay of 20 samples around the standard and sent the overlap to the logger. Both were fixed within a week. The duplicate check then found hole 23 already loaded under an old ID, so it was merged. The geologist approved.
