Surpac tip – Coloring A Pit By Geology

Yori0197 views

Geological mapping in ore mining integrates interpreted models with real data from surfaces like walls or benches, enabling geologists to refine models, Drill & Blast engineers to adjust blast parameters, metallurgists to optimize processing, and geotechnical engineers to assess wall conditions and refine ground support designs. In GEOVIA Surpac, coloring a DTM by geology involves loading the DTM and geological data, assigning attributes, defining a color scheme, applying it to the DTM, validating the output, and sharing it with stakeholders for operational use.

The below steps outline how to color a DTM by geology in GEOVIA Surpac:

How to create a Long Section Puncture plot in SURPAC (3/4)

Yori0120 views

As a Geologist, you may be asked to produce a contoured gram meter plot to outline areas of the ore body that have the greatest value or potential ore shoots. This plot can also highlight areas of wider stopes, that then require more ground support during mining. This plot can also highlight areas where more drilling is required to upgrade the resource/reserve.

This is the 3rd post in the series “plotting long sections”. The files created in the 1st article, from the functions “Database>Composite>by Geological Constraints” and “Database>extract>zone thickness and depth” are required for this process.

As an underground geologist, one of your job’s may be to create a long section puncture plot of the ore body drill-hole intercepts displaying the grade and true width.

This plot can then be used to help monitor the grades while mining, and to assist in the design of infill drilling programs to upgrade the resource-reserves.

Today we’re talking about visual cutting planes.

What is a visual cutting plane?

It is a way to hide data in graphics that may be getting in the way of a task you are performing.  The great benefit of visual cutting planes is that the user gets to select what portion of an object or string that they want to hide and you can cut the data as many times as you like until you achieve a desired view.

How do I use it?
