Generally, for iron deposits, block models have a multitude of variables, making them very large and, consequently, slowing down daily work. In most cases they are models that have the contents of the elements analyzed by percentages of granulometric ranges. Thus, in many companies, in the current didactic of estimation/interpolation of the model, the accumulation of variables is carried out to obtain an estimated value consistent with their granulometric proportion, and then the deaccumulation for the calculations of cubage. However, in MineSight's estimation routines, there have long been options that eliminate the need to estimate accumulated variables and later model deaccumulation calculations. Exactly!!! There is no longer the need for accumulated and non-accumulated variables per range for each element in the model, since the estimation is already weighted by the percentage of the granulometric range. But this subject will be addressed…

There are some tools in MP3D that greatly simplify users' work when it comes to designing piles, pits and accesses. In this edition of Dicas & Tricks, we will present four of them: Dump/Spoil to Target, Surface Reslope, Attach Template along Polyline and Pit Expansion. These tools can also be used for environmental applications. An article on this subject can be found here. Dump/Spoil to Target With this tool, present in the OP Eng Tools menu, it is possible to quickly design pile solids, having as input data only a polygon, inclination angle, tolerance, pile volume and topography. The Dump/Spoil to Target tool is interactive with the user and warns them, in the MineSight Message Window, if their goals are not achievable, then suggesting acceptable values for the project. Surface Reslope This tool, also present in the OP Eng Tools menu,…

Often, making the mine's production schedule more flexible in the short term is not an easy task! But then, how to meet the demands of materials for processing and the opportunities that the market has in store for us? MineSight Planner is the ideal mine advance management tool to guide this decision making. It allows the user to simulate the blending result of the most diverse types of materials available in the mine, through a previously configured reserve logic, and to define the best moment to mine these advances. When importing the cuts, through the AutoSlicer & Target Material option, it is possible to discretize the mining plans according to specific materials or cut grades, which makes decision-making more dynamic in the defined operational horizon: In an intuitive way, the user is able to of reproducing the flow of mined materials to the…
