The Block Model step allows users to load in block models which can then be used for reporting purposes. This process is exactly the same as the Block Model step in Rapid Reserver.

Reserve fields are the components that provide structure for the Reserve model. There are three types of fields that can be created , Sum, Weighted and Class. Sum by clicking the relevant icon in the toolbar: Sum Fields 
, Weighted fields 
, and Class Fields 
can be created by clicking the relevant icon in the toolbar. When a new field is created, it is expected that a block model variable will be mapped into it; however, it is possible to leave a field unmapped.

Field Type | Description |
|---|---|
Add Additive button - Sum fields | When aggregating multiple block model cells, the value of these fields will be summed together. Sum fields include quantity fields such as volume, tonnes and gold ounces. |
Add Weight Averaged button - Weighted fields | When aggregating multiple block model cells, the value of these fields will be weight averaged by there their parent Sum field. Weighted fields need to be nested under a Sum field. |
Add Text button - Class fields | Creates subtotals of a sum field, such as Indicated / Inferred / Measured. When aggregating multiple block model cells, these fields behave like Sum fields. |
...
Different formulas and operators that you use to create Block Model fields expressions can be found in the RR SC. Block Model Formulas section.
Type in a condition or the statement to test, which will be N(“Fe”) greater than (“>”) 60 return (“?”) “ore” otherwise (“:”) call it “waste”.
...
9. In the list of available variables on the right you will see a new variable CustomT("CustomTextVar") in bold, map it to the Parcel field.
...
Update the created variable by adding lines with a breakdown of parcels based on Fe content as shown below, or copy preconfigured formula from the SC. Block Model Custom Variables page.
...
2. Map this new custom variable to the Parcel field.
...
Navigate to the imported “pit2a” Block Model and multi select all the empty fields to be mapped with custom variables.
Press Paste Mappings icon at the top toolbar to populate selected fields with the mapping imported.
...
3. Repeat for “pit3a” Block Model.
| Tip |
|---|
To copy and paste fields mappings between multiple Block Models you can also use <CTRL+C> and <CTRL + V> hotkeys. |
...
You can export created fields and all or the selected parcel mappings using the Export button at the top toolbar. Exported sets will be saved in “.abmf” (for fields) or “.abms”/”.abmm” (all/selected mappings) format.
...
...
Combined Reserves Model
Once you are satisfied with added fields and mapping for each Block Model, generate one common Reserves Model, which will combine all of the above.
...
| Note |
|---|
If in the Reserves Model Generator the name of a block model appears red, it means the absolute path to the file can’t be found. The path to the blockmodel must be relinked in order to use it. |
