RR. Introduction

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.
