Abstract: Aiming at existing complex conditions of ore and rock bodies and changeful geological structures, a new approach of 3D geological modeling based on project prisms has been presented for gaining real and exact geological structures according to the characteristics of different methods of stratum modeling, especially TIN modeling and solid modeling. The method considers borehole data and the stratum distribution laws as follows: firstly, the area of horizontal position of boreholes is divided into several prisms. Secondly, each prism side is connected correspondingly by comparing with ore blocks until the wire frame diagram for the prism is created. Then an irregular triangle network is gradually knitted area by area, layer by layer, and prism by prism. Finally, the 3D stratum model is established based on the concept of solid modeling, which models three-dimension form vividly and makes the attributes of molded ore bodies ceaseless and calculable. Besides, the model is able to automatically deduce problems of complex geological structures by using the knowledge of engineers, such as pinch-out, bifurcation, fault, and wrinkle, etc. The method has the practical value for the reserves estimation according to reserve categories due to two major advantages, namely, 3D display and solid description.
