GeoLariAn is appropriate software for projects with simple scenarios as well as for projects with complex
scenarios involving on the stages of Financial Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility studies:

    - Cost Price Escalation              - Complex Royalty Terms
    - Complex Taxation Terms        - Production Costs that Vary over Time

SIMULATIONS

Sensitivity analysis realized by Monte Carlo simulation to analyze uncertainty was used with four parameters
taking into account: price, metal tonnage sold, operating cost and ore tonnage mined. Could be use up to at
least 10 millions iterations.
Each of these variables can be simulated according to preliminary known type, belonging to:
            - Uniform          - Normal                  - LogNormal
            -
b (Beta)          - Exponential           - Triangle
statistical distribution as well as to the special ones, produced by particular investigation. For each iteration,
the Net Present Value, and Internal Rate of Return can be reported. The simulation data were exported in
different formats including ASCII.

GRAPHICS

GeoLariAn generates high resolution graphics enhance manipulation of output results. The graphics could be
plotted on a Laser or Jet printers by attached graphical program modules written in Quick Basic. Output graphics
can be exported in BMP TIF and other common used graphical formats.

GeoLariAn was primarily designed for resource and risk managers, dealing mainly in Earth Science (Geology,
Ecology, Geophysics), Mining Industry, etc., however it can be used also in practically spheres of financial activities
connected with investment policy and risk assessment and uncertainty for investment.

GEO_Log
version 3.5

INTEGRATED PROGRAM PACKAGE ON MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN GEOLOGY

© Copyright 1996-2012 by the GAIA EXPERT Ltd.
The software is protected by the Copyright Laws
of FRANCE and International Copyright Treaties
 

AIMED AT: The packages are designed for the application of mathematical algorithms that have proved their
efficiency in the field of standard and nonstandard problems of research and in the education of students of
geology and practicing geologists.

DEFINITION: Program packages in high level languages grouped in topics and functionally organized in interactive system.

STATUS QUO: Hundreds of program modules actively applied in research by geologists and mathematicians,
some of which have been the object of their Ph.D. and D.Sc. thesis.

POTENTIAL USERS: Universities, Research Institutes, Central and Regional Geological Services and Centers in
USA, CANADA, EUROPE etc.

PRICE: 5999 Euro for executable code.

Comparison of this product with other well known products

Our reasons to create this program package are as follows:

* firstly - our long experience in using mathematical algorythms for solving modern geological problems;

* on the second place - the great quantity of program modules we use in our research and last but not least - our
wish to demonstrate the necessity of quantitative methods application and the chances this application gives to
the large public of young research workers.

Our guiding principle is:

"The new paradigm in geology caused by geology computerization should be at the large public of young
research workers' disposal"

The program package we offer includes most of the mathematical algorithms successfully used in geological
data processing all over the world. Moreover, it contains a series of algorithms though rarely used but undoubtedly
efficious, their efficiency being proved by a number of D.Sc. and Ph.D. theses and specialized research work; this
packet includes new and most original algorithms - the product of research projects pointed at solving of specific
geological problems.

The chief advantages and originality of GEO_Log TM consist:

1. It is all-embracing due to the conception:

"Both the student and his Professor can find in this package means of solving his problem"

It includes a great number of mathematical algorithms largely used in the application of mathematical methods in
geology which may or may appear the way they are presented here as program tools for PC's.

  • statistic procedures and tests, building up of correlation matrices and similar operations in the processing
    of presented by various scales data
    (Dichotomous scale, Nominal scale, Ordinal scale, Interval scale, Relation scale and Angular scale);

  • full scheme of parametric and nonparametric and robust statistical procedures including:
    - Statistical Distributions and Tests, including Angular Data;
    - Spatially Distributed Data /Analysis of sequences /in the time and in the space/;
    - Regression and Trend Surface Analysis;
    - Smoothing;
    - Autocorrelation, Crosscorrelation and Croosassociation;
    - Markov's process and Fourier analysis /double Fourier series/ for testing of rhythmical sequences
       in complex build of sediment formations;
    - Analysis of Geological Maps:
          - singular and nonsingular distribution of points in the space and methods of their statistical check
             and tests and hypothesis;
          - methods of drawing maps, trend surfaces and triangulation Delaune and Woronin's areas;
    - Multinomial Analysis;
    - Analysis of Variance;
    - Discriminant Analysis;
    - Geostatistics and Krige mapping procedures;
    - Classification procedures:
         - Dendrograms - Hierarchical Cluster Analysis;
    - Divisive Cluster Analysis on dichotomous/nominal data:
         - Association Analysis;
    - Non-Hierarchical cluster analysis:
    - K-means cluster analysis;
    - Factor and Correspondence Analysis;
    - Biostratigraphical and Lithostratigraphycal Correlation;
    - Tools for Petrologic Diagrams;
    - Modeling in Petrology, Sedimentology, Paleontology, Palaeecology etc.;
    - 3-D visualization of Data.

2. The program tools are modern, switch and efficacious being the realization of the idea:

"I can understand the algorithm, I can make programs and I can bring the program tool to perfection for my
specific purposes if needed"

The user could choose between two variants of the product:
- variant one - with program windows, menus and dialogues;
- variant two - in dialogue or other regime, chosen to user's wish with any program
realizing a certain algorithm /For this purpose its source is presented as well./

NB ! - We can offer you variant two /if user is certain to prefer it/ at extra payment.

3. Reference (Libraries)

The user could have access to mathematical methods in geology references and other theoretical problems of
mathematical statistics and geology. The data is grouped in bases, whose structure could be changed by the
user in accordance with his needs and preferences. He could introduce new sources. He could use all data at
any moment of work by means of the so called "hot keys".

4. Flexible

The program package is organized to allow the user to introduce program modules /written in FORTRAN and C++
code/ in the general menu of the system. For this purpose the user has concrete instructions and examples at his
disposal.

5. User-friendly

The program packet contains all the classical examples of application of certain mathematical algorithms in
geology which are published in specialized books all over the world. We have realized the idea:

"Any algorithm is accessible for the geologists and he/she could learn it and apply it correctly to his/her wish"

6. Modern

These characteristics make the product we offer a unique one and judging from the information we have, it has't
got analogues anywhere in world's practice.

        The advantages of the product we offer in comparison
        with other popular computer packets like

        Mainframes

        Micro

        BMDP

        BMD/PC

        GENSTAT

         

        IMSL

         

        MASS

        MASS

        MINITAB

        MICROTAB

        SAS

        PC/SAS

        SPSS

        SPSS/PC

        SYSTAT

        SYSTAT

        are as follows:

  • universal presentation of the problems solved;
  • the possibility to perfect and complete the program;
  • fidelity and security of program environment - the result of many years work with mathematical algorithms;
  • the program environment of the product is a system, open to the needs of the user;
  • the combining of already built up data bases, tests and demonstration and control examples of concrete
    program modules.

The most important difference, being at the same time an advantage of the product we offer is that it has been
designed completely and only by scientists working in the field of mathematical methods in geology as well as
scientists working in the field of software design. This makes the product quite different and much better than
many similar products designed mainly for commercial purposes.
