Contour maps can be color filled based on user defined color series. This map shows a topographic map that has been filled using a blue to red spectrum. Similarly, contour maps of any surface feature which can be gridded, can be color filled.

Combine data from multiple sources, land maps, contour maps, surface features, geochemistry - you name it - into complex maps that beautifully summarize your data for reports, presentation or just as a work product. No need for multiple software products or databases, TECHBASE stores all your data, analyzes this data and plots it too - what more could you want?

Vectors can be plotted, along with user defined variables that track time of map creation, fields plotted, database filters etc. as shown on this example.

Basemaps can include whatever data you decide is important. Drill hole locations, land boundaries and limited geographic references are shown on this map of a coal property.

TECHBASE offers many plotting options for your data. This example shows a 'bubble plot' where the size of the marker corresponds to the geochemical value of the surface soil sample. You may also choose to plot different symbols, alter the color of the maker and even create your own custom markers.

When you really need to impress someone with your geochemical data, consider constructing a 3D bubble plot. As with the TECHBASE plan-view bubble plot maps, each circle can be constructed to represent relative value of your data point. These values can also be color coded, with colors and cutoffs you designate for your project.

Multiple contoured surfaces can be combined to produce very effective graphics as in this example of piezometric data from a land use map. The use of different line weights, colors and fonts can combine to give the user an accurate picture of multiple data sources and their relationships.

The TECHBASE coordinate conversion utility converts all your location data from one coordinate system to another. Or you can select to convert data 'on the fly' as you are plotting it on your maps. This allows you to quickly plot and compare data, or combine data from multiple sources.

Complex geologic maps can be constructed from your surface data. Geologic outcrops can be digitized directly into TECHBASE using our SDIGIT program. Or, use external or internal polygon files to construct geologic maps. Color fill, patterns or both define geologic units. You can then add any of your other data - such as land boundaries, grids, contours, geochemistry or drill hole collars to your map.

As your project progresses, bench maps of your block modeled data may be useful. Shown are color-coded blocks that correspond with the ore values plotted inside each block. Polygons, such as open pit boundaries, or perhaps land ownership, can be plotted on these maps as shown by the outline of the modeled pit in this diagram.

Need more capabilities? No need to buy another software package. Add TECHBASE modules to:

• Model your data into 2D surfaces and 3D blocks
• Calculate tonnages and volumes
• View your data with our 3D viewer - spin, rotate, zoom and pan through your project area producing stunning graphics
• Simulate pit slopes and topography
• Model groundwater flow
• And much, much more
