Grade estimation for undulating or folded deposits can often be challenging. A variety of solutions can be used to reduce the bias in the search parameters during block model estimation, one of which is dynamic anisotropy interpolation.
Dynamic anisotropy interpolation is an estimation method which takes into consideration the local variation of the domain orientation into the block estimation.
Why use dynamic anisotropy?
As an underground geologist, one of the weekly jobs maybe to map the structures and lithological contacts in the development drives. This information can then be used to update grade control and resource models, geotechnical models, and help with future mine planning.
In this post we will discuss how we can bring the sketched wall mapping into Surpac.
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:
