Mining Fields

The default Mining Fields specified in the Setup Task > Reserve Database > Data Fields > Fields step are volume, dry tonnes, wet tonnes and moisture.

In addition to the defaults, we should add any block model fields that are present in the inventory files and which are relevant to scheduling. For example: product grades, contaminants, resource class, geological class, and water table class.

Any field which affects the commercial value of the material should be flagged in the Product Field column (i.e. tonnes and grades).
