The Dependencies setup tasks allow users to set different dependencies for a project. Dependencies control the logical order in which blocks are extracted from the pit and filled in the dump.
Main dependency types are listed in the table below. Navigate to the relevant sections to find more detailed information.
Dependencies Setup Tasks  | Step | Description |
|---|---|---|
Phase Adjacencies | Phase adjacencies are used to ensure that a backfill dump does not encroach within the standoff distance of unmined blocks. | |
On Bench | Set dependencies between blocks, and bench access, by ramp point or direction. | |
Between Benches | Allows user to plan multiple benches mining in a single phase. | |
Increment Offset | Synchronize vertical offsets values between stages. | |
Custom | Specify dependencies between any two records, including upper level records. | |
Drilling | Specify exclusion zones and blasting delays. This setup step only appears if in the Configuration Options step you ticked Use Dependencies option. |
