    The geologic model is constructed based on data from cross-sectional figures to provide a clear three-dimensional picture of geological relationships in the area. However, the geologist often only has access to an eroded or tectonically altered portion of the total mineral system. The geologist must recognize how this can complicate interpretation but also present opportunities. The model provides limits for resource estimation and ensures algorithms only estimate resources in mineralized areas, correlating features.
