Grade Control System
GCX is an integrated Surpac based grade estimation and reporting system. The system
is specifically designed to facilitate the many routine grade estimation and reporting requirements of most open pit mining operations.
GCX is based on a stepwise sequence of commonly performed tasks that have been powerfully integrated into an easy to use and intuitive set of Surpac based processes. |
 |
- Overview |
GCX is based around the use of the Surpac 3D block modelling environment, which has a powerful range of estimation, reporting and visualisation tools. The Surpac block model is a robust, intuitive and efficient method of generating, storing and reporting grade control, production and reconciliation data. |
| GCX is developed by a team of experts in mine production management working together with IT professionals that specialise
in database and web application development for mining. |

- Features & Benefits |
• Organisation and documentation of data layout, file naming, geological domaining, material classification,
production and reconciliation reporting requirements
• Easy 3D block model selection to isolate area of interest
• Flagging of block model based on geological or domain attributes
• Easy assignment of density on the basis of geological attributes
• Data selection from database based on assigned geological or domain attributes
• Statistical tools for spatially visualising data distributions and application of high grade cuts if required
• Efficient estimation of multiple element data controlled by geological or domain attributers
• Estimation by Ordinary Kriging, Inverse Distance or Polygonal methods
• Powerful plotting and visualisation capability of input grade control data and modelled outcomes
• Systematic flagging & reporting of mining dig block designs allowing easy comparison of different scenarios
• Routine production of survey mark-out plans
• Systematic production reporting from grade control model using polygons or 3D survey
DTMS surfaces
• Facilitation of reconciliation comparisons to resource or reserve models
• SurFace - A Surpac based system, enables draping & graphical viewing of pit wall mapping & digital photos |
