For years, geology data management has focused on one primary goal: storing geological information accurately.
But modern exploration teams face a much bigger challenge.
The problem is no longer collecting data.
The problem is connecting workflows.
Geological interpretation happens in one system. Compliance lives in another. Files are shared through separate tools. Tasks are managed in spreadsheets. Drillhole information is scattered across multiple locations.
The result is unnecessary administration, duplicated effort, and slower decisions.
Modern geology data management needs to do more than store information. It needs to connect geological interpretation, compliance, collaboration, and operational workflows into a single system.
That is exactly what 1point v1.8.0 delivers.
From Geology Data Management to Connected Workflows
Traditional geology databases were designed to capture information.
Today’s exploration teams need systems that actively support how they work.
Instead of jumping between multiple applications, teams need a single environment where interpretation, compliance, collaboration, and drillhole management work together.
The latest 1point release moves geology data management in that direction.
It transforms the database from a repository into an operational platform.
Geological Correlation, Built for Faster Interpretation
Correlation is one of the most critical activities in geological interpretation.
It is also one of the most time-consuming.
The new Geological Correlation Tool introduces a dedicated workspace where graphic logs, strata hierarchy, seams, plies, horizons, and editing tools are all available in a single view.
Teams can now:
- Align drillholes by depth, elevation, seam, or horizon
- Create and rename seams and horizons instantly
- Automatically manage pinch-outs
- Visualise distances between drillholes
- Save workspaces for future interpretation
This allows geologists to spend less time managing software and more time understanding geology.
Compliance and Operational Workflows in One Place
Compliance is often managed outside the geology database.
Tenements sit in one system.
Tasks sit in another.
Environmental authorities are tracked somewhere else.
This fragmented approach creates unnecessary risk.
With integrated Tenement and Task Management, teams can now:
- Add and manage tenements directly within 1point
- Connect environmental authorities to projects
- Create custom task templates
- Configure deadline alerts
- Upload shapefiles and mapping layers
- Monitor everything from a central dashboard
Most importantly, tasks can now be linked directly to drillholes.
This creates a direct connection between operational activities and geological data.
Secure Data Sharing Without Sacrificing Control
External collaboration is essential.
Maintaining governance is equally important.
The upgraded Data Room gives organisations complete control over how information is shared externally.
Users can now create:
- Public or private links
- Password-protected access
- Approved email access lists
- View-only permissions
- Editable collaboration spaces
- Expiry dates for temporary access
This makes collaboration simpler while maintaining accountability.
Standardised Geological Visualisation Across Projects
Inconsistent visual standards create confusion.
The new Graphic Log Legend functionality allows teams to create and manage custom legends using their own colours, patterns, and configurations.
Users can:
- Import existing legends
- Connect legends to custom table columns
- Pull codes from dictionaries
- Standardise outputs across projects
This ensures consistency regardless of team size or project complexity.
Subscription and Billing Management Made Simpler
Administrative tasks should not slow down operations.
1point now includes integrated subscription and billing management.
Users can:
- Purchase project credits
- Purchase storage credits
- Download invoices
- Attach purchase orders
- Configure invoice recipients
- Receive automated billing notifications
The result is greater operational control and less administrative effort.
Better Drillhole Visibility Across Your Data
Supporting information is often difficult to locate.
Core photos, geophysics files, and laboratory results frequently live in separate locations.
The updated Drillholes Table solves this by displaying associated file counts directly within the drillhole view.
Users can instantly see:
- Core photos
- Geophysics files
- Lab results
Without navigating away from the drillhole record.
This creates stronger connections between data and supporting evidence.
Faster and Smarter Data Room Management
Growing exploration projects generate large volumes of files.
To improve efficiency, several Data Room enhancements have been introduced:
- Real-time search while typing
- Enhanced recycle bin recovery
- Restore-to-original-location functionality
- Easier folder management
- Drillhole tags within folder structures
These improvements reduce administrative overhead and improve information accessibility.

The Future of Geology Data Management Is Connected
The biggest takeaway from this release is not a single feature.
It is the shift in direction.
Modern geology data management is evolving beyond storage.
It is becoming a connected operational platform where interpretation, compliance, collaboration, and drillhole management work together.
When workflows become connected:
- Decisions happen faster
- Compliance becomes easier to manage
- Collaboration improves
- Data visibility increases
- Operational risk decreases
That is the future of geology data management.
And that is what 1point is designed to deliver.
