Rsvute menu contents

Introduction

This section provides an overview of the system and lists any prerequisites. It also explains how to start Rsvute

Files

This section describes the options available under the Files submenu including the loading and saving of default settings and the loading and selection of polygons for reserving. Saving commands into macro files is also explained.

Reserves

This section describes the available reserves options such as the standard reserves (reserves reporting), property reserves and block reserves. Report defaults can also be set through this submenu.

Query

This section describes the options you can use to query a model and provide statistics.

Setup Defaults

This section describes the options available under the Setup Defaults submenu.

Tools

This section describes the options that can be used to change the mining/target direction and then to quickly perform reserve calculations on the changed polygon.

Reload Model

Use the Reload Model option to reread the specification files and check the data directory for grid models. The effect of this option is the same as if you were to exit Vulcan and then restart Vulcan and Rsvute, except that all of the reserving polygons are still loaded.

Display Polygons

Use the Display Polygons option to display buffered polygons with connection lines.

Display Quad Tree

Use the Display Quad Tree option to display the reserve run extents on-screen.

Remove Underlay

Use the Remove Underlay option to select underlays to remove from the screen.

Clear All Rsvute Underlays

Use the Clear All Rsvute Underlays option to remove all Rsvute items from the screen.

Appendix A

This section lists the naming conventions used by the files generated by Rsvute and provides examples of these files. The appendix also includes some examples of Grid Calc macros that can be used for reserves reporting.

Appendix B

This section contains reserve calculations techniques. The techniques include reserve calculations from limit polygons with conventional burdens, reserve calculations using grid masks with mining burden units and reserve calculations using benching and batters.
