Target for Geoscience (formerly Geosoft Target) remains the industry standard for integrated geological and geophysical interpretation, drilling targeting, and 3D visualization. However, as Seequent (a Bentley company) continuously rolls out updates—transitioning from legacy Geosoft to the modern Seequent Target interface—finding an updated Geosoft Target tutorial PDF has become a challenge for many exploration professionals.
Outdated PDFs from 2015 or 2017 often fail to cover the new ribbon interface, cloud connectivity, or the integration with Leapfrog. This article provides a roadmap to locating verified, updated Geosoft Target tutorial PDF resources, plus a self-guided training syllabus to master the latest version.

| Geochemistry > Statistics | Analysis > Assay Stats (Right-click channel) |
| Export to DXF | File > Export > CAD Format > DXF 2020 (Legacy toggle) |
