Avatar Systems vs. GEOVIA Surpac

Avatar Systems is appropriate for basic routine medical visit charting. In my opinion, I would not use it for anythin beyond that. I was not impressed with Avatar's capabilities and customization. The system is great for locked down user level permissions.

I have only used it for exploration projects but understand that with additional modules (such as pit design and production rates) it can be used for production schedules too. The software acts as a central interface for all of the drilling data from the borehole trace with customisable graphics or traces alongside (e.g.: geology, mag sus, assay results, struc info, etc) to the exporting of sections for field interp or planning; and resource block modeling.

• Interface is good, but could always be improved
• Occasionally a little buggy when mapping DBs
• Extensive additional module list; can customise experience and therefore cost but some would expect certain features as standard

In my opinion, Avatar Systems would rank low on my list when compared to the others.

Lower cost and more user-friendly. My understanding is that the functionality is somewhat more limited but for our use in exploration it does the job and does it very well.

• Avatar Systems didn't meet all of our needs, but would for a private practice

Incentivized

• Saved consultancy fees in interp and modelling.
• Field-based interp made easier with fast and accurate section drawing.
• Central interface for all data.
