Stockpile Surveys

Select Stockpile Surveys from the Materials Management menu t o enter end-of-period surveyed quantities for one or more locations.

If a previous end-of-period survey for a location has not changed, the value can be accepted as the surveyed value for the current date-time.

  1. The first step is to select the appropriate sites from the drop-down list of sites ion the Stockpile Surveys header.

  1. Select the Period defined by the selected Start Date and End Date.

  2. If required, you can filter the Stockpile Survey list by Location using the drop down:

To edit an existing stockpile survey,

  2. Make the required changes to the Survey Quantity value.
  3. Enter a Survey Comment on the change in the field provided.
  4. Click the Accept Changes icon to save the changes made.

Pitram will display the name of the user who made the changes and the date and time on which changes were made.

The Stockpile Survey screen allows the editing and deletion of grades, stockpile surveys and geology toolkit observations. Grades and stockpile surveys can also be created, but observations can only come from Pitram Connect.

For information on editing and deleting observations in the Stockpile Survey grid, see Stockpile Survey Observations.

Calculate Grades

The Calculate Grades button appears on records containing a GT Observation while in Edit mode. This button uses Elemental Grades and Fragmentation Values to calculate grades for elements with ShowInGeologyToolkit enabled.

Only the latest Elemental Grades that existed before or at the time used for the original calculations in Pitram Connect will be used in the calculations. Adding new elemental grades will not have an effect on recalculating previous grades.

Note: Use of this button is optional - Grades can also be edited and updated manually.

Import Elemental Grades

Rock types configured in Reference Data are used to define the rows of the Material Observations panel in the Geology Toolkit. The Domain attribute for these rock types is used to map rock types in the elemental grades importer CSV files.

The Elemental Grades Importer is used to import CSV files containing elemental grades for a particular location. These grades are then used in Geology Toolkit observation grade calculations. The tool is accessed from the Stockpile Survey screen:

For information on the import process, see Elemental Grades Importer.
