View Grade Block

The View Grade Block screen provides a complete overview of the attributes for one block, the model comparison data for that block and the mining activity undertaken on that block. There are several ways to open the View Grade Block screen for a block.

Activity Steps

  1. View a grade block using one of the following methods:
    1. Find the block on the Grade Block List Screen and click its hyperlinked name to open it. See View and Filter Grade Block List Data.
    2. Open the View Grade Block Screen and select the Block.
    3. Open the View Grade Block Screen and select a saved configuration for the block. See View a Saved Screen Configuration.
  2. Select a Mining Activity Measure from:
    • Wet Tonnes
    • Dry Tonnes
    • Volume

    Note: The selected Mining Activity Measure option controls whether the screen displays tonnes or volume data.

  3. Click the Apply Filters & Refresh icon to load data for the selected block and measure.
  4. The screen is divided into three sections. Expand each section with the down arrow icon to view the details.
  5. If required, change the selected Mining Activity Measure and click the Apply Filters & Refresh icon to view data for that measure.
  6. To save this grade block view with your selected layout, filters and settings, see Save a Screen Configuration.

Block Information

The Information section displays:

  • Identification and location details for the selected block, including Name, Creation Date, and the configured location hierarchy (for example, Mining Complex, Pit/UG, Bench/Level, and Blast).
  • Descriptive attributes such as Alternative Name, Material Type, and Lithology Type.
  • Mining status and tonnage values, including Mining Commenced, and calculated values for the total, hauled and survey tonnes.

If no mining activity exists for the block, Mining Commenced is blank.

The following calculations apply for tonnage data:

  • Design Wet Tonnes = Design wet tonnes of the block.
  • Haulage Wet Tonnes = Truck tonnes.
  • Survey Depletion = Total survey depleted volume multiplied by block density.
  • % Mined (Haulage) = (Design tonnes – hauled tonnes)/Design tonnes) multiplied by 100.
  • % Mined (Survey) = (Design tonnes – survey depletion)/Design tonnes) multiplied by 100.

Model Comparison

The Model Comparison table displays a comparison model estimates (design tonnes, volume and grade) for each block model type. The table includes each available model type in Reconcilor.

Each row represents a model breakdown for the block, which can be grouped by Material Type or Lithology Type. The % of block values for a model total 100%.

The table values are calculated from model cell entities that share the same block location, or a child location of the selected block.

The table includes columns such as Material Type, % of block, Dry Tonnes, Wet Tonnes, Volume, and grade attributes (for example, Cu (t) or Au (g/t)).

Note: Use the filters in the Configure Data panel to select the columns that display in the table and to configure grouping by Material Type or Lithology Type. See Configure Grade Block Data.

Mining Activity

The Mining Activity section displays a chart and tables that help you identify whether a block is over depleted or under depleted compared to the design measure.

The chart displays remaining tonnes over time for Block Haulage and Block Survey. The values reflect the selected Mining Activity Measure.

The tables display the underlying haulage and survey records for the selected block and Mining Activity Measure:

  • Block Haulage – Displays columns for Date, Haulage Tonnes or Haulage Volume, Remaining Tonnes or Remaining Volume, Destination, Equipment ID and number of Loads.

    Note: Use the filters in the Configure Data panel to configure how haulage data is grouped. See Configure Grade Block Data.

  • Block Survey – Displays columns for Date, Survey Depletion (Tonnes) or Survey Depletion (Volume), Remaining Tonnes or Remaining Volume and Survey Name.
