Boundary Surface Frameworks

The Boundary Surface orientation method covers stopes constrained by a reference surface, such as a geological boundary. These settings include those for surface normal orientation and stope parallel alignment to boundaries.

For narrow high grade reefs or lenses, where subcell modelling has some spatial accuracy limitations, this method can prove more effective to model stope shapes off the geological wireframes directly. The stope walls are modelled as a mesh of points from [3x3] to [6x6] points.  Dilution, orebody positioning in the stope, and an option to split the stope into waste and ore components, are provided.
