SC. Introduction

Spatial Conformetrics is a platform for consistent mine plan conformance calculations. Mine planners and schedulers use Conformetrics to objectively analyse assumptions, methodologies and implementation practices.

Practical Applications

Short Term & Production Scheduling

Fast Mine Plan Conformance

Simply import surfaces, automatically generate conformance domains, and export your custom reports.

Automatic Solid Creation

Instantly convert overlapping surfaces into stacked solids. Most mining packages only support single Boolean operations on triangulations – Spatial Conformetrics automatically converts up to seven unique conformance domains into fully validated 3D solids in one step.

Increase Planning Efficiency

Reduce time validating solids and surfaces. Get live updates of reserves values based on your reporting regions. Feed conformance reports back into the planning process for faster, more accurate mine plans.

Mid- Long Term Planning

Stage Plan Generation Tools

Import a schedule, surfaces and blocks to create stage plans for any period in the schedule.

Performance Improvement

Use Spatial Conformetrics to objectively analyse mine planning assumptions, methodologies and implementation practices.

Communicate Business Value

Conformance to plan affects pit development, blend ratios and haul profiles. Use hard numbers to demonstrate the real business cost of non-conformance to schedules.

Performance Management

Key Performance Indicators

Consistent KPI calculations for mine plan conformance across crews, sites and organisations.

Standardised Reporting

Make black-box reporting a thing of the past. Anyone can import surfaces into the Spatial Conformetrics and start generating maps, charts and reports.

Increased Confidence

Use historical conformance calculations to increase confidence in budget estimations and production forecast.

Innovative Features

Solids & Surfaces

Full 3D Viewport

Robust 3D viewport which allows viewing from any angle.

Automatic Solid Creation

Instantly convert overlapping surfaces into stacked solids. Solids are closed, valid and immediately start generating reserves.

Stage Plan Generation

Generate valid stage plans from an existing schedule.

Advanced Layer Merge Functions

Calculate composite surfaces with an intuitive and powerful merge utility.

Reserving

Block Model Import

It is possible to import multiple block models using CSV, Vulcan, Bintab, MineSight, Surpac and Micromine files.

Real-Time Reserving

Geological reserves are automatically run, allowing you to immediately see the geological properties of conformance domains.

Simple Setup

Specify how geological information is aggregated with a simple interface which supports unlimited attributes and multiple material types within the same block.

Extensible with Formulas & Scripting

If your block model is missing vital information, you can easily add new calculated attributes with simple formulas. If you need to do more complex calculations, you have access to full C# scripting.

Reporting

Conformance Shading

Shade conformance solids based on domains, making it easy to identify planned and unplanned movement for presentations. 

Conformance Reports

Generate conformance and performance calculations across multiple pits, material types, and block model properties using a standard pivot table format. 

Waterfall Charts

Use the power of visual communication to show the inter-locking components of plan conformance and performance.

Import/Export

Export conformance surfaces, solids and reserves to “.dxf”, “.00t”, “.csv”, “.obj” and “.tridb”.
