Vertical for Analysis Case
Bench Z Attribute
Select the attribute which contains the Z level of each bench.
Extraction number attribute
Specify the name of the attribute that contains extraction numbers. Extraction numbers are unique number assigned to an identifiable “extraction” of which a block forms part.
Group by
If multiple pits are being processed, an expression can be used, for example, to identify the pits in which the mining blocks are located.
If the expression field is blank, dependencies are built for a single group consisting of all tasks. If an expression is specified, the expression is evaluated for each task, and tasks are grouped accordingly. Different Block Size parameters can then be set for each group.
Case
Open pit analysis is the analysis of the ore reserves, waste tonnage, metal production and cash flows for the pit shell, or nested pit shells. The values of the ore reserves in the pit shell, or in each nested pit shell, are calculated using fixed element prices. Best case, worst case, or constant lag scenarios may be analysed.
