Leapfrog Geo is modeling software used by PTFI for geological modeling. It allows importing data, building 3D geological models through surface editing, and exporting outputs. PTFI has used it for structural modeling of faults at GBC, DMLZ, and other areas. Leapfrog has advantages like an intuitive interface and dynamic updating from data. However, it lacks version compatibility and scripting capabilities for automation. PTFI currently has a limited number of on-demand Leapfrog licenses.

fcx.com Leapfrog Geo Model Building Process and Product
• Modeling Process: • Import Data: Drillholes, Points, Structural data • Data validation: fix errors, query filter, group domain, interval selection • Create model: Geological model, structural model, numeric model • Editing Surfaces: use polylines to control thickness, layer and control Leapfrog to follow the Geology Interpretation • Producing volumes: Build output volumes • Outputs & Updating: export meshes to DXF format
• Example modeling product in Leapfrog:
• GRS-GBC Structural modeling and verification • DMLZ Structural Modeling • Rock Fabrics Regional Fault • GBC and DMLZ Vein Modeling • GTS • Adonara
• The mesh triangulation model from Leapfrog then exported to dxf format and imported into Vulcan. • Check triangulation integrity: Closure, Consistency, Self Intersection.
Note: Data that have been modified inside Leapfrog are continue keep in Leapfrog project format as a separate entity data and not reimporting again to acQuire database. 2 Leapfrog Geo as intermediate Model Workflow
Import DXF to Vulcan
Export Meshes to DXF 3
Structural Modeling Task Force GBC-GRS-DMLZ-DOZ ( UG Geology, GDM, GRS Geology, ENJ ) DOZ-DMLZ Total of 275 faults have been generated with details as follow: 1. 226 faults categorized as verified faults with 106 faults at DMLZ Level, 97 faults at DOZ Level and 23 faults at EESS Level (continuous and segmented). 2. 49 faults categorized as CONF5.
GBC Total of 773 faults have been generated and No CONF1 or CONF5 category in GBC
GRS Total of 239 faults have been generated with details as follow: 1. 222 verified faults interpreted and review in this Phase 2 2. 17 faults categorized as CONF1
Fault interpretation process are done in Leapfrog software
using combining data coming from: 1. Underground mapping 2. SRK mapping polylines if any 3. Core orienting of drill holes 4. Measured structure, gross structure and RQD of drill holes

11 Leapfrog Geo Pros
• Able to import drilling data from various sources: ASCII, ODBC, acQuire • Easy user interface in QAQC data validation and fix errors • Fast and dynamic update model directly from data. • Quick prototyping and visualization. • Flexible in fine tuning the model parameter and editing surfaces using global trend and polylines. • Easy to reload or append new data. • Export-import file into Vulcan 00t/DXF into/from Leapfrog msh by using Leapfrog older version 2.2, the older version is built by previous owner. • Update database of drilling, UGT structure only by replace the files and refresh in Leapfrog • For structural model (fault): • Adaptive shape adjust by adding or removing structural data use. • Quickly Boolean by mesh operation tools to set the kinematic of the faults
12 Leapfrog Geo Cons
• Leapfrog does not supported put workspace project in a shared network drive or One drive folder. • Need extra cost for license, cloud server/dedicated internal server on-premises, additional administration work and need special person as administrator for workspaces project sharing and collaboration via Leapfrog Central software product. • Leapfrog has no scripting language features to automate and simplify the repetitive tasks. • Compatibility and flexibility between Leapfrog software version. • Need additional license cost ( Maptek Link ) for importing Vulcan 00t format, USD800/year. • On-Demand Licenses required internet connection. • Clients such as engineering or operation don’t use Leapfrog.

16 Current PTFI Leapfrog Geo License
• Total 3 On-Demand Licenses that can be used by up to 10 physical dongles.
• Distributed to UG Geology, GDM, GRS Geology and Exploration Geology. • Maximum checkout period 24 hours / 1 day. • Only for this year leapfrog have revoke on demand license only for Freeport, so all physical dongles can be used simultaneously.
