Haulage Information: Rock Destinations

An explanation of fields and properties

Haulage Information: Rock Destinations

To access this dialog:

  • In the Haulage Information dialog, select the Ore Destinations tab.

Each rock type/processing method should have a valid haulage destination.

If some of the destinations have limited storage capacities, you should ensure that, in total, there is enough capacity to accommodate the combined rock mass; otherwise, scheduling will be aborted before completion. You can also select to define two truck types. If you define two truck types the Haulage Information window displays three tabs: one for Exit Benches, one for Ore Destinations and one for Waste Destinations.
