Streamline Drillhole Management
Company Announcement - Greater functionality and new utilities are the hallmarks of MineSight Torque 3.5, released today for mines looking to streamline drillhole management. Tag Intervals, Tag Mineable and Count Partings will replace older procedures familiar to long-time MineSight users. The new utilities are designed to simplify the drillhole management workflow and are complemented by an added MineSight Torque functionality for compositing existing composite coverages. “The new utilities are mostly related to our coal modeling workflow, although there are no rules to say that they must be applied to coal deposits only,” said MineSight Technical Services Manager, Melanie Bolduc.
“Customers will especially notice one major improvement, namely the ability for all MineSight Torque utilities to run on all coverage types - both assays and composites.” Tag Intervals are geared towards stratigraphic deposits. This procedure provides a flag to filter out the intervals that are non-representative of a zone (rock type, coal seam) thickness. Tag Mineable will store, in an output attribute, a value of 1 or 0, if an interval or a series of intervals is wide enough to meet the minimum mineable thickness or the minimum separable waste thickness. By choosing from the available options, Tag Mineable uses a ‘smart tagging’ algorithm that can hold on a decision for a particular interval and accumulate thickness of the following intervals, based on the interval classification. Count Partings will count separable partings in a zone based on a pre-calculated mineable flag (output of Tag Mineable). This information is later interpolated in the block model for loss and dilution calculations.
Introduced in 2010, MineSight Torque represents a new generation in drillhole management. The software is fully integrated with other MineSight products for coding, spearing, compositing, interpolation, statistics and display.
