Case Study: Agnico Eagle improves geological understanding and drilling efficiency with Seequent Leapfrog

How Seequent upgraded geological understanding at AMARUQ

Agnico Eagle, a gold mining company, used Seequent’s Leapfrog software to support exploration at the Amaruq project in Nunavut, Canada. The team faced a complex geological setting with multiple deformation episodes, folding, and faulting, making it difficult to interpret drill data and plan drilling efficiently.

Seequent’s Leapfrog enabled Agnico Eagle to rapidly update geological models with new drilling and geochemical data, visualize complex structures in 3D, test hypotheses, plan drillholes, and communicate findings across teams. The result was better geological understanding, faster decision-making, improved drilling optimization, and greater confidence in resource estimation, helping support the discovery and advancement of the Amaruq deposit.
