Quick Steps up to the block model

Create new project, given the limits PCF s new is created

here is created the file 10
In the compass link to the project

one) In Obsolete load Initialize Assay File p10211.dat file 11 and 12 for both
the same data.
two) The Initialize Composite File p10209.dat, set the limits of the coordinates, sale
the archive 8 and 9. These first two are the formats

3) In Assay load Load ASCII Data p20101 DH

4) All load in 2Composite Bench Compositing p50101.dat With these two last
formats created before fills.

If there are errors re-run both we can create the folder Assay and New DH View Tests, color is configured to
create the folder laws composites

Create a new folder Grids and new grid called Cad tiered planes 15 m
Geostatistics can use the Data Analyst
Creating polygons, creating solid. The geological model, encode solid

5) Make a sort, at 2-Composite (All) load file Sort Composite Data

p50601.dat
6) In all load Obsolete Initialize File Model p.60101.dat, this file is to start
the block model, it appears file 15, raising items.

Gradeshell
Add topography to the model. file 13

7) 5a 3Dmodeling in the file Calc User Model p61201.dat It used to enter

different values, for example values ​of specific weight per type of rock or ore.

8) In 52-3D Modeling (All) load IDW Interpolation p62001.dat It is recording with the
IDW extension (check at the end if there is 610, but create it, when the full model used to run
programs recalculation has already in operation)
9) In the 5th-3D Modeling, Calculation load Ordinary Kriging p62401.dat

Calculate User EQCU with Calc (step 7) Statistical model block (Data
Analyst). Deposit reserves ( Statistic (model) p60801.dat)

Calculation of partial

If something goes wrong is again running can be from step 1 or any other, keep in mind that you have to re-run
all forward.

To get the file 610 runs the Load ASCII Block p61001.dat but as asking the name of a file before you run the Dump

What we have to do is the following:

• We have to find yourself the maximum and minimum column "B, C, D" which represents us our
coordinates in X, Y, Z

(The new)

• We find the difencia between the maximum and minimum.

• And we find our area of ​influence, but how?

• For the X, Y, Z maximum we must add the (max + difference)
• For the X, Y, Z minimum we have to subtract the (min -Difference)
• Round them to add an integer and 1000 in order that our bounding box or (cage) we need for the
block model has sufficient space to work

• Finally we have to find the size (cell size) which is the result of the difference between the maximum
and minimum divided among any number we have to give an integer result

Barreno data entry or DRILLING
Learning objective

Prior to this section must be initialized the project. (Jump to the end of this chapter when yase have the data file). When
you have completed this section, you can:

TO. Barreno data format to an ASCII file hole.

B. Review the data to see if there are errors and limits and then load them to Minesight ®.

Income data stream

As shown in the diagram below, must carry data from drill logs to Minesight. To do this, create an ASCII file of your data in
the format required for the program M201V1 recognize it. There are several ways to create this file and you can use the one
you prefer. If you have ASCII files separate information coordinate necklace, topographical information along the borehole
and information sampling interval, you can use the procedure CONCSA to merge these three files in an ASCII file in the
format required for M201V1 program. Other ways include using the text editor such as kedit, or program electronic
spreadsheet such as EXCEL. As the ASCII file barreno is created, it will use the M201V1 to load a Minesight ®.

program used CONCSA: A conversion program data barreno CONCSA is included with MineSight. This program will take a
data file necklace, file topographic along the drill data, a data file interval assaying and up to four optional data files

In your project directory you will find the following four files:
COLLAR.DAT - Hole collar coordinates (in the current bag is called Header.csv) SURVEY.DAT - (Now the
same name extension csv) topographic data along the hole
ASSAY.DAT - Rehearse interval data for Copper and Molybdenum (same name extension csv).
GEO.DAT - Geological data interval zones oxide / sulfide (in this case litholog.csv).

Let's use the program CONCSA to merge the information from these four files in a file ASCII format called DAT201.IA from
the collar, Asays, Survey tables,

This is an example of the format of the data to ASCII file barreno. This shows the data for the hole SM-020

1. Line necklace

This is the standard line information collar. If your data is in another format, please contact Mintec.

DH-IDENT Identification hole (max. Of 10 columns)

XC Easting necklace
YC North coordinate necklace
ZC Elevation necklace
AZIM Azimut pit (North)
DIP Dip ( Inclination) pit
TLEN Total length of barreno

2. topographical lines (Optional)

No need to specify the topographic lines for holes that have no topography along the hole. If a hole has no topography
along the hole, you can specify the topographic lines with the same format as for the line collar.

DH-IDENT Identification hole (max. Of 10 columns)

DESDE Depth at the beginning of the topography
TO Depth at the end of the topography
LENGTH Topographic length interval
AZIM Azimuth survey data (North)
DIP Dip topographic data

The only difference between a topographic line and collar is that FROM ( OF), TO ( FOR) and LENGTH ( LENGTH) They are
entered instead are XC, YC and ZC. Exactly the same columns should be used for the data lines collar and topographic data.

The succesivos topographic intervals should be continuous along the distance of the hole. The full length of the hole must be
covered by topographic intervals, even if no data given assay for topographic interval.

3. Final line survey data

Enter the DH-IDENT in this line. The rest of the line is blank.

4. Lines interval assay

The data lines may be interval assay in any order and any format while the first is DH-IDENT.

DH-IDENT Identification hole (max. Of 10 columns)

DESDE Depth at the beginning of interval
- TO- Depth at the end of interval
-AI- Interval length (for verification)
label As the first item Grit

label last item

The -ai- item is optional. If it is not present in the ASCII file it will be calculated as the difference between
-TO- and FROM and will be stored in the file 11. Items DH-IDENT, FROM and -to- must be entered. Other items can be
Rehearse values, relationships, physical parameters or engineering, geological codes, rent, etc. Extras items can be
specified although not part of the data to be stored in the file 11. These extra items are ignored when data for each assay
interval are stored in the file Minesight.

Missing values ​are specified when entering data that is less than the minimum value for the item, ie, if the minimum
value for Cu is 0.0, use -1.0 to specify a missing value.

Items that are specified in the data file Minesight, but are not admitted to the M201V1 will be treated as undefined
values ​(-2).

Geology codes can be entered with M201V1, or can be added later with M205V1.

B. Assign values ​to file descriptors data item Minesight ®
C. Initialise Files 11 and 12
D. Barreno verify income limits and errors ASCII
AND. Load the input files hole 11 and 12

the project geo.prj, because the project when the program starts automatically open, but if the project and its path was not
shown, is applied as shown in the figure below)

Item data file Minesight ®

A item It is the smallest amount of information that is considered by Minesight. Assaying, geological codes and total barreno feet are examples of items.
Each item is either a numeric value or an alphanumeric value of four characters. Each item has a set number of descriptors. You must assign values ​to
these descriptors item for each item. The descriptors are:

one. Label Item ( Label item) -One five alphanumeric characters used to describe the item. The first character must be alphabetic. Do not use the
characters "/, *, _, -." Or spaces between characters.

2. Min. Value (Min value) -The minimum numerical value item can have. The items will usually have a minimum value of 0. coordinate items can be a
positive or negative minimum value. Values ​less than the minimum value are treated as missing values ​for most programs.

- 30 -
Minesight Guide

3. Max. Value (maximum value) -The maximum numerical value that the item may have. If an input value (or calculated value) exceeds this maximum, it
is automatically reduced to a minimum. If the maximum value is entered as zero (0.0), reserves a word of entire computer for the item.

4. Precision-A numeric value whose magnitude specifies the least significant digit To be
maintained for the item. If a law is significant to 1/1000 of a percent, then the accuracy = 0.001. If accuracy is not explicitly specified, the default is
set to 1.0.

An accuracy of 1.0 is indicative of the precision integer.

5. roundoff ( Rounding) -The rounding is automatically calculated as rounding = Accuracy / 2.0 -

0.0001.

alphanumeric characters are used for items such as labels and borehole geological codes. These items should be assigned:

tag 5 or less characters a Min value. 0 a Max. 0 and

-1 accuracy.

The "value" or the length of an alphanumeric item can not exceed four characters. If you need more than four characters for a name, you need to define
two or more items. Alphanumeric items are restricted in use for plotting and listing certain programs.

Initialise Files 11 and 12

The first two files usually used in MineSight® are the File 11 containing data of drill hole assay, and File 12, which contains topographic data necklace

Grid Sets ( Sets grid)

Grid Sets ( Sets grid) They are one of the four main types of data in the Data Manager ( Data Manager). Grid Sets are used to:

• pass data to limit visibility using Volume Clipping ( Cutting volume),

• "Slice" (slash) to provide data strings or markers in a new orientation for the interpretation, and

• Edit Grids define ( Grids edition) with many additional functions.

Grid Sets are created:

• Automatically, when imported a VBM, and

• When creating a Grid Set ( Set Grid) New from Data Manager.

Learning Objectives

When you have finished this exercise, you will know how to:

• Create sets of grid MineSight ® with different orientations

• Incorporate a set of grid Viewer for Cropping volume 3-D and 2-D display
• Edit a set of grid
• Create and edit a grid editing
• Force edit grid to stick to the planes of the sets of grid
• Use the edit grid to restrict the data entered
• Use the edit grid to position a set of non-orthogonal grid
• Use multiple viewports to display data in various orientations

Data and parameters required

• Suitable data objects geometry MineSight® ® 3-D. (Points, polylines or a combination of both)

• And you must have initialized one MineSight project ® 3-D.

The grid assembly MineSight® ®

The whole grid is one of the four basic types in any project MineSight ®. The most important function is set grid defining a number of planes, which can
then be used to control the amount of data to be displayed in the display MineSight® ®. There are two types of sets grid. Orthogonal (consisting plan,
section and section NS EO); and nonorthogonal, comprising vertical and non-vertical planes that do not align with any of the three directions. No limit to
the number of planes that can be created in a single set of grid. Grid assemblies

new planes

New planes can be added to set the copy plane at the corresponding grid set compensamiento. This will be added at the end of the list, and then be
numbered properly. Added planes need not have the same orientation as the other planes.

Consequently, imported from the VBM data with different orientations have different planes oriented in the Grid Set.

- 51 -
Minesight Guide

renaming flat

MineSight® assigns a default name to plans, depending on the orientation of the grid set and location in space. However, there is no restriction to keep
the default names. MineSight® allows you to rename flat according to your specifications.

The data displayed in MineSight® can be viewed from any angle, a section (plane) at once, or multiple sections (planes) at a time.

In this next exercise, we will use the Grid Sets oriented in different directions: Horizontal, East-West ( East West), North-South ( North South) and N45E.
This will help us visualize our data from several different angles.

COMPOSITE
Prior to this section must be loaded blasthole data to Minesight. In this section, calculate composites from drill hole.

After this, you can list, edit or display data. You can also develop variograms or order composites and move to mine modeling.

Learning objective

When you have completed this section, you will know about the following:

A. The definition of composites.

B. Types of composites within Minesight.
C. How to compute composites.
D. Unfold / plotting data in MineSight composite.

composites Composites:

_ They provide a basis for modeling mining _ reduce the amount of data
used for _ They provide uniform support geostatistics

Types of composites

There are three types of composites within Minesight:

_ Bank (with the 3-D model) _ Mantle

(with GSM)
_ fixed length (for geostatistics)

How they are calculated composites

Minesight calculates either a vertical or horizontal composite. Vertical composites are formed by calculating the average value of all assaying between
the foot and each bank crest. Only the portion of each assay is within the bank will be used. You can weight values ​to allow assaying different lengths or
densities.

Horizontal composites are formed by breaking the borehole and uniform lengths averaging assaying within each length.

We need a way to determine whether the inclined holes should be treated as horizontal or vertical composites. You can specify the angle where the
change from vertical to horizontal occurs
PAR4 in M501V1. If you do not enter a value, by default, the program will calculate a value based on the size of your blocks. His blocks are DX by DY
DZ. As default just use the face / face Front ( DX by DZ). Any shallower hole than the diagonal in the face is treated as a hole and any steeper / inclined
hole is treated as a vertical hole.

The angle limiting decides compositing method used, where the angle limiting is defined as the angle a

ARCTAN (DZ / DX)

Where:

- 64 -
Minesight Guide

DZ = PCF Bench Height (bench height)

DX = PCF Horizontal Block Size (horizontal block size)

The vertical composite is formed by the average of the tests between the toe (foot) and the crest (crest) of each bore. In the example below, it has
been made Rehearse each 2m of length. Vertical composites are calculated per bank. The bank 10 m averages. 6.

You can have short composites at the top and bottom of the holes, and which have lost data as shown in the diagram below. The item LNGTH Idice
as the bank has data. Notice how the lost data (-1.) Will not dilute the law.
