Instructions for viewing VRMLs

Appendix 8 consists of interactive VRMLs, 3D images that the user can manipulate and view from different angles.  You will need a plug-in, such as COSMO Player, that will enable your internet browser to display the VRMLs.  COSMO Player is provided with this CD as an installation file.  You will need to follow the steps below (which are also set out in the report).
 
Instructions
1.
Open the CD, then open the "interactive" folder. Click on the icon named "cosmo_win95nt_eng.exe" and it will launch with prompts.  Read the first page, close any open Windows programs, then click NEXT.
2.
Agree to the Licence Agreement and click YES.
3.
It will determine which internet browsers are on your system and list some options. Choose the option that you usually use, e.g. Netscape Communicator 4.5 or Internet Explorer (provided with Windows).  Some users will have older systems and will need to choose "Other".  Click NEXT.
4.
Choose the destination folder using the BROWSE button.  Then click NEXT.
The plug-in will now install itself.
5.
It will then ask you if you would like to associate all VRML related files (.wrl, .wrz, .wrl.gz) with Cosmo Player.  Choose YES.
6.
Set up is complete.  You should be able click on the options below and use the VRMLs.




Federal Regolith

Logging supplied by Centaur Mining & Exploration Ltd enabled CRC LEME to distinguish 3 regolith units plus bedrock at the Federal deposit.

Note:  The larger files may load slowly.

Regolith Unit  
Transported
Oxide (3,002k)
Transition (1,979k)
Bedrock (910k)



Federal 3D Au Cut-offs

CRC LEME also created 3D models of Au concentrations at the Federal deposit.  The colours match the regolith legend and show all those parts of each regolith layer that have, for example, 300 ppb Au concentration or greater.
