Project setup
Follow the project configuration as below. Upon completion of each step press the blue play button to run to the next step.
1. Configuration Options step
For this demo project, flag No Extensions, No Drills, No Known Parcels, Do Not Embed Rapid Reserver, No Reserves Hacking and Optimise Product options.
When ticking Optimise Product checkbox equipment stops when it hits plan targets. There is no limit on equipment hours, it will overflow to reach target.
2. Create Tables step
Tables should be created for each class of blocks: pits, dumps, and (optionally) backfills. The number of levels in each table should match the level hierarchy of the inventory files, so they can be mapped one-to-one in the Map Fields step.
More details on how create tables see here.
A table marked Holds Dumps has no reserves information and cannot be mined. If an area must be dumped and reclaimed (such as a land bridge), then the blocks must be imported twice (once as dumps, once as reserves).
More details on tables configuration see here.
3. Misc Fields step
In the Misc Fields step set block properties such as block type, solid volume, depletion, and location
Click the folder icon on the side and import the sample “.openfields” file to auto-populate the Fields table (or configure manually from the side button menu).
4. Mining Fields step
The default Mining Fields are volume, dry tonnes, wet tonnes and moisture. In addition to the defaults, add any block model fields that are present in the inventory files and which are relevant to scheduling. For example: product grades, contaminants, resource class, geological class, and water table class.
Any field which affects the commercial value of the material should be flagged in the Product Field column (i.e. tonnes and grades).
Click the folder icon on the side and import the sample “.openfields” file to auto-populate the Fields table (or configure manually from the side button menu).
