    ModelLink is an ODBC driver that provides read-only SQL access to MineSight block models stored in PCF files, allowing the block model data to be queried from various applications like Excel, Access, and custom programs. It works by treating the block model data like tables in a relational database that can be joined and queried. This allows mining companies to integrate block model data into reporting, update models in a centralized data warehouse, and perform ad-hoc queries for tasks like reserve calculations and grade analysis.
