Fields

The Fields tab of the Seam Block Model Report form allows you to apply primary attribute cutoffs to the elements specified in a Report Fields grid list. A cutoff set or a colour set can be used to define the ranges in which the cutoffs are reported.

Report Fields

Select this check box to report field cutoffs. Use the grid list to specify up to 10 fields to report on. The ranges in the Cutoff file are applied to the FIRST field in the list. Use the buttons on the local toolbar to Manage the rows in the list.

Fields

Double-click, or click on the List icon, to select the fields you want to calculate cutoffs for. Dynamic field expressions are supported. Click on the Use an expression instead link to open the Expression Editor:

Alternatively, right-click on a field and select Edit Expression.

Note: You can select a field more than once provided that the Mass Units for reporting are different. See: Fields and how they are used

Grade Unit

Use the ellipsis to select the required Grade Unit:

When calculating the reported values for grades, each value can be weighted according to either:

  • the block volume (m3) or
  • the block tonnage (t). The tonnage option includes density in the calculation.

If you select a Grade Unit, the corresponding mass of the element in the material can be determined by multiplying the grade, as specified for the element by the value in the field, by the volume (m3) or tonnage (t) as appropriate.

% Percent lb Pounds
ppm Parts per million oz Troy Ounces
kg Kilograms carats Carats
g Grams dwt Pennyweights

Note: If you have chosen an Undefined, Percent (m3) or ppm (m3) Grade Unit, the Mass Unit input will be disabled (since the unit is unknown).

Element Unit

Select the Element Unit (Tonnes, Ounces, Grams, Carats, Pounds, Pennyweights, Kilograms) that will be used to report the mass of the element in the material.

Primary Field Cutoffs

Select the None (global) option to create an all-inclusive global report. If you prefer to define the ranges that will be used in the report, there are two options:

  • Cutoff set.
  • Colour set.

Cutoff set

Select the Cutoff set option when you want to define the ranges in the reserve report using a cutoff set. If you need to create a cutoff set, right click in the cutoff set response.

When using a cutoff set to define the ranges that will be used in the report, you can click on a Calculate button to calculate a range based on first and last values (you enter) and either a set number of intervals or a set interval size. See: Create a cutoff set

Colour set

Select the Colour set option to define ranges in exactly the same way as for colour numeric sets. You can use all the relevant functionality such as Assign to create ranges. See: Numeric Colour Sets

Calculate Totals

If you have selected a Cutoff Set or Colour Set, select the Calculate Totals option to automatically calculate totals for the ranges within the set.
