Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting

Specification File

The Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting option is a quick, precise, and flexible tool you can use to create your short- and medium-term mining plans. It enables you to work directly with a block model; reporting the amount of product with the advantage of using cutoff grade variables, but without having to perform any pre-calculations or identify any predefined cuts. The scheduling of the blocks is done quickly and interactively, and user-defined linear and radial accumulations, restricted for each plan period using mine and plant/floor targets, are applied. The reporting is based on a listing of calculations and visualization from in the solid, per defined period, as well as statistics from other tools available in Vulcan.

Using the Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting option, you are able to quickly define stock piles for each of the products, modify the targets, verify the cutoffs, and change the position of equipment, greatly increasing your productivity.

Use the Specification File option to load a previously saved specification (.stp.spec) file, or create a new file. The specification file stores all the parameters necessary to run the Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting option.

Instructions

On the Block menu, click Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting, and then click Specification File to display the following panel.

Load specification file

Select the specification file (.stp.spec) to load. The drop-down list displays all specification files found in the current working directory. Click Browse to select a file from another location. To create a new specification file, type in the desired file name.

Note: The settings and information contained in the specification file will populate the various fields in the Sequencing Accumulation and Reporting option panels.

Mode

Block Mode

This mode is based in sequencing blocks.

Solid mode

In this mode, select the output folder for the resulting triangulations and the cutting tolerance for the solids.

Click OK to save the specification file.
