An Example Workflow

A Block model update (task) is created by a Resource Geologist in Nexus. He or she splits this task into the following sub tasks:

  1. Update drillhole database

  2. Update interpretation strings and wireframes

  3. Re-estimate block model

Each sub task is the responsibility of a different Nexus user:

Task Activities
1. Update database
  User 1 receives a notification of his or her task and downloads new drillhole data samples from Nexus (this might be in any format, for example, Excel) to a local Micromine project.

In the local Micromine project, User 1 imports and validates this new data and uses the data to update an existing drillhole database.

Still in the local Micromine project, User 1 uploads the updated drillhole database files to Nexus.
   
2. Update strings and wireframes
  User 2 receives a notification of his or her task, and downloads the updated drillhole database files from Nexus to his or her local Micromine project.

User 2 performs string interpretation and creates a wireframe from them and then uploads the new wireframe to Nexus.
   
3. Re-estimate the block model
  The Resource Geologist receives notification that a new wireframe and assay data have been uploaded. He or she downloads those files from Nexus to their local Micromine project and updates a blank block model file from the new wireframe to perform a re-estimation of the block model.

The Resource Geolgist can then close the task as complete. The owner of the block model (for example, Mine Planner, receives notification that the block model has been updated.
