The purpose of Rapid Reserver creates a volume in space, cuts that volume into benches, and cuts benches into blocks. Those block solids are immediately reserved for blast masters, grade control and mine scheduling.

(RR) is to prepare geological reserves for scheduling in Alastri Tactical and Production Schedulers.

Rapid Reserver creates blast masters, dig floors, grade control blocks and scheduling blocks for the entire mining technical services team. It works by drawing lines to cut solids, so that mining blocks are automatically closed, validated and adjoined to their neighbours.

Solids, blast boundaries and reserves are dynamically displayed and can be exported to any mine design software, scheduler or fleet management system

This page provides step-by-step instructions for creating such a project, including instructions for setting parameters, creating solids based on the current survey, working with blasts and mining blocks, reporting and plotting the data of interest, as well as exporting the prepared reserve model file for further use in mine planning.

Once in Rapid Reserver, click File > New to open create a new project.

Setup Tab

The main steps to set your model in Rapid Reserver are listed below. Navigate through them in a specified order or go to RR. Setup tab section to get more details.

In the Setup tab data is imported and information required for the inventory model created.

  • Geological Block Models

  • Pit Phase solids

  • Current Mine Surveys for depletion

  • Client Grade Control Databases can be imported

Information can be added to the inventory:

  • Data hierarchy created

  • New properties can be added

  • Bench structure added to the reserves

  • Material can be depleted/removed for the current project

  • Wall control parameters can be added
