Lisheen Data
Lisheen datasets and models:
Surface grids of the base of the Waulsortian Limestone horizon at the Lisheen deposit. Depth contoured maps of the base of the Waulsortian Limestone horizon, and projected faults where they intersect this horizon. [ILC_LIS_SIL_iCRAG2018_Surfaces.zip]
LeapfrogGeo 3D model (version 4.2.3) containing the 3D data. [ILC_LIS_SIL_iCRAG2018_Leapfrog_model.zip]
Drillhole databases for Lisheen. [ILC_LIS_SIL_iCRAG2018_DHD.zip]
Other iCRAG datasets (these are available for licencing on request and under conditions)

Maptek Vulcan project, containing interpretations of other geological units
GoCAD 3D model with the primary modelling workflow and containing the 3D data above.

A related iCRAG paper also uses these models to look at fault-controlled fluid flow in extensional basins.
