COMPOSITE DATA OPERATIONS

MineSight 500-Series Programs There are two primary MineSight programs used to calculate
drillhole composites:
The MineSight 500-series programs are used to create, update,
manipulate and display the drillhole composite File 8 (sorted M501V1 - composites within regular elevations
composites) and File 9 (unsorted composites).
M501SM - composites within variable elevations (seams)
A composite is the weighted average of a set of samples that fall for each drillhole
within a defined boundary. This boundary may be a bench or
a seam. The weighting factor is usually the sample length, but M501V1 uses the table of elevations stored in the PCF to

Suggestions For Bench Composite Items Other items of use to certain projects:

Each M501V1 drillhole composite to be stored in File 9 must SPGR - the specific gravity of rock
have the following items of information with the stated labels
after a regular M102TS run: REC% - the percent recovery of core

REF# - the drillhole reference number assigned by M201V1 TRUE - the true interval length corrected for dip

EAST - the easting of the composite (default = midpoint)

NORTH - the northing of the composite (default = midpoint)

ELEV. - the elevation of the composite (default = toe)

Labels REF#, EAST, NORTH and ELEV. must not be changed.

The following items should be useful for most projects:

LNGTH - the actual vertical or horizontal length of the

drillhole that was composited

FROM - the drillhole distance at the crest of the bench

DEPTH - the drillhole distance at the toe of the bench

All projects should have at least one assay value, e.g.

TCU% - the total copper grade

ACU% - the acid soluble grade

SCU% - the sulfide copper grade

MOLY - the molybdenum (MoS2) grade

AU:OZ - the gold grade (oz/ton, g/tonne)

AG:OZ - the silver grade

EQUIV - the equivalent grade value

Many projects will need geologic items, e.g.

ROCK - the code describing rock type

ALTN - the code describing alteration type

ATYP - the alteration intensity

FALT - the code describing fault location

MNRL - the code describing mineralization

MIN% - the % volume of mineralization

STRC - the code describing structure

ZONE - the code describing zones (ore bodies)

Coal projects normally have proximate and/or ultimate analyses,

such as:

BTU - heating value

ASH - percent ash

MOIST - percent moisture

VOLAT - percent volatiles

FIXED - percent fixed carbon

SULF - percent total sulfur

Many seam projects will need either physical or mechanical

parameters, such as:

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
This program is used to load composite or blasthole data into a Program M500V1 will read composite data from the run file or

been generated outside of MineSight. You may also create an
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM ASCII file of composites from MineSight (with M507V1),
modify them and load them back into the composite files with
RUN FILE: M500V1.

- Composite labels The composite data that is loaded should have the following
- Area selection variables present:
- Composites (optional)
DH-IDENT - drillhole identifier. Must be no more than 10
characters. System defined format is 10A1.

EAST - easting of composite. Format is user defined.

INPUT: CALCS: NORTH - northing of composite. Format is user defined.

- Load composites into

ELEV. - elevation of composite. Format is user defined.
- PCF
- ASCII file of File 9 and 12 OR
composites File 8 or 9 only The coordinate variables may be the coordinates of the composite
(optional) toe, composite midpoint or composite crest. Composites that
are generated by MineSight (with M501V1) are stored using
toe coordinates and the default for plotting and interpolation
routines is the toe coordinates. Therefore, there may be some
advantage in storing toes rather than midpoints.
OUTPUT:
Other data such as grades, geology or seam codes may be loaded
- Survey File 12 for each composite. Data fields that will not be stored must be
- Composite File 9 skipped over with an nX format specification on the FMT1 line
- Printer Output file
in the run file.

If File 12 is loaded at the same time as File 9 (IOP4=0), the

coordinates of the first composite for each hole are stored as the
collar location in File 12. If File 12 has already been loaded, it
will be overwritten if IOP2=1. If IOP2=0, the collar information
will be appended to any existing data in File 12. The data stored
to file 12 are: DHID, collar location, and pointers to composites
in file 9. This file 12 should not be used to retrieve drillhole
geometry.

Input data fields that are blank will be read by the program as
0.0. Input data that is less than the minimum value for the item
will be stored by the program as missing values. Input data that
is greater than the maximum value for the item will be truncated
to the maximum value.

Input elevations equal to -99999 will be set equal to the default

elevation (PAR1). Use a -1 to indicate a blank when entering
alphanumeric item data in free format.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M500V1 RUN

1. A common error is a mismatch between the FMT1 line and the PUT09 line in the run file. Make sure you have specified
enough format fields to account for all items on the PUT09 line. Dont forget to specify the first format field as 10A1 for
the DH-IDENT. Check that your format matches the data that is being read in.

2. M500 ERROR IN COORDINATES

will appear if you have not specified the standard coordinate items EAST, NORTH and ELEV. on the PUT09 or PUT08
line.

3. You should take care when loading File 9 and File 12 simultaneously. If you have already loaded File 12 (with
M201V1), you may either overwrite File 12 (if IOP2=1 and IOP4=0) or append to it (if IOP2=0 and IOP4=0).

4. If you are loading File 8, you should sort the input file on one of the coordinates (northing, easting or elevation) prior to
running M500V1. The file can be sorted with your computer systems sort routine.

5. Also check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

Seam Splitting (Secondary Composite Code)

In some cases, a single seam may contain internal parting of

sufficient size to justify splitting the main seam into subseams.
To split a seam, a split code must be stored in File 11 along with
the main seam code. Splitting is specified in the M501SM run
Manually check the M501SM seam composites for completeness file with the line:

Handling Different Partings Handling Different Sampling

There are two types of parting as shown below.

The diagram above shows different types of sampling within a

seam:

1. Seam is fully sampled with one or more assays.

In this case, FROM and -TO- represent the top and
bottom of the seam so the sample define the seam.
Examples 1, 1a, and 1b in the diagram illustrate this type
With Type 1 (internal length), a separate item is used (e.g., of sampling. Example 1 is a single sample across the full
PART) in both File 11 and File 9. The input drillhole data must seam and examples 1a and 1b are multiple samples
contain the measured PART. Use the following commands: across the full seam.

IOP7 = 0 2. Seam is partially sampled with one or more samples.

ITMn = WASTE PART PART In this case, FROM and -TO- do not represent the top and
bottom of the seam. Examples 2, 2a, and 2b in the

single sample representing part or most of the seam.
With Type 2 (separate, measured intervals), a separate parting Examples 2a and 2b are multiple samples which

Use the following commands:
3. Seam physically splits with one or more samples

ITMn = WASTE PARTI See the Sample File Section for further information on handling
TMn = LIMIT LITHO different sample types.

Note: The seam code on the waste interval must match that of
the coal. LITHO is a File 11 item.

Both Type 1 and Type 2 can exist in the same deposit. Use the
following commands:

IOP7 = 1
IOP8 = n
ITMn = WASTE PART PART
ITMn = LIMIT LITHO

Note: Second PART is a File 11 item. LITHO is a File 11 item.

FROM DRILLHOLE DATA

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M501V1 is used to compute weighted average grades To calculate composites, M501V1 uses the table of bench
(composites) for fixed vertical intervals (benches). elevations stored in the PCF to determine which portions of
each drillhole fall within each vertical bench. This table of
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM elevations is created by M101V1. The composites are calculated
as the length weighted average of all samples that will fall within

- Assay & composite labels
- Compositing parameters The items to be composited are specified using ITMn commands
- Toe elevations table in the run file. The correspondence between the File 11 items
(assay) and File 9 items (composites) is also specified on the
ITMn lines.

Specific drillholes can be selected by the File 12 data unit

M502V1 ADD GRADES TO EXISTING

FILE 9 COMPOSITES

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M502V1 adds grades to an existing composite file (File9). The M502V1 provides a way to update composites in a batch run.
data must be in real numbers. Values in the input replace existing values for specified items
in File 9.
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM
The program limits are:
RUN FILE:
- Composite selection Maximum of 50 grades
- Item selection Maximum of 525,000 drillholes
- Area selection Maximum of 400 composites/drillhole

The drillhole name and an elevation item are matched to find

the composite that should be updated. Either an elevation or
distance to the end of the composite may be used to match the
input to the stored composite.

INPUT: CALCS: For OCS projects, there probably is only one record per blasthole
so a very large tolerance can be used to allow the ELEV to get
- PCF - Select data and generate
- File 9 composite report
updated. For example, the bh data gets loaded without the
- File 12 coordinates as they are not yet available or the coordinates were
initially wrong. Later on, when the proper coordinates are
available the east, north, and elev can all be updated.

OUTPUT:

- Printer Output file

HOW TO DEBUG AN M504V1 RUN

1. If you wish to plot DH-IDENT, you must specify

ITMn = D.H.# A10 xoffset yoffset height

and set IOP6=1.

2. A common error is to incorrectly specify the output format for label plotting. If you do not specify a large enough format
field, asterisks will be plotted where a number greater than the format is plotted, i.e. plotting a number 1000.0 with a
format of F3.1.

3. Another error is to incorrectly specify the location of the plot label with the xoffset and yoffset. Run a test plot on a
small portion of the data to check the offset values.

4. Check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

M505V1-- ADDITION OFCODES TO

COMPOSITE FILES

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M505V1 allows the addition of geologic or mining codes to the M505V1 can be used to add or update geologic/mine codes in
composite data file from ASCII input or an existing assay file. File 9 in one of two ways:

PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM access Files 11 and 12, pick up the existing codes and
determine a code for the composite using a majority
rule, or
RUN FILE:
input a set of data containing drillhole lengths with
- Item to update appropriate codes and determine the majority code for
- Dh selection
each composite of a drillhole.

The drillhole lengths and codes can be in the run file or in an

external ASCII file.

M505V1 is normally used for projects with a PCF table of

numeric toe elevations (i.e. 3-D model projects). It can also be
INPUT: CALCS: used for seam composites if the From and -To- depths are stored.

- PCF - Add geology or mining Drillholes can be selected using the File 12 data unit numbers.
- File 9 (11, 12 opt.) codes to the Composite
- Optional ASCII input File
The item to be updated is specified on an ITMn line. If File 11
file
is used as the source of the geology codes, then a corresponding
item from File 11 should be specified.

M505V1 cannot be run for composites that do not have a tie to

File 12 (i.e. composites loaded with M500V1 with the File 12
option off).
OUTPUT:
- Update File 9
- Printer Output File

After you run M505V1, list the composite file with M503V1 to
document and check the codes inserted with this program.

M506V1 SORT COMPOSITE DATA FILE

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M506V1 sorts the composite data in File 9 by increasing M506V1 is used to sort composites in File 9 prior to interpolation
northings (or eastings) and creates a sorted composite Data File with the M620-series programs. The efficiency of the
(File 8). It can also be used to sort any other item of data in interpolation routines will be improved if the composites are
File 9. sorted on northings. This program should be run after File 9 has
been loaded with all required grades and codes. The sorted
M102TS must be run prior to M506V1 to set up the descriptors composites will be loaded into File 8.
for File 8. To insure correct results, File 8 descriptors must be
exactly the same as File 9. Normally, the entire File 9 should be sorted (IOP1 & IOP2=0).
Set PAR1 and PAR2 to be outside the intended northing search
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM limits for interpolation. For example:

RUN FILE: PAR1 = YMIN intended max. search distance

- Common selection PAR2 = YMAX + intended max. search distance
- Sort item
- Sort options
Initially M506V1 makes a coarse sort of the composites into
the increments determined by PAR1, PAR2, and PAR3. The
total number of increments cannot exceed the maximum number
of sort subintervals (1000 on the RM Fortran platform and 10,000
on all other platforms). If this number is exceeded, M506V1
increases PAR3 to reduce the increments. Each increment can
encompass at most 2000 composites on the RM Fortran platform
INPUT: CALCS:
and 75,000 on all other platforms.
- PCF - Sort File 9 on selected
- File 9 item (coordinate) If PAR3 cannot be adjusted to meet the above limits, then File 8
- Generate File 8 must be sorted in multiple runs. This can be accomplished using
IOP4, PAR1, and PAR2. If multiple runs must be made, the
order in which they are made and the choices for PAR1 and
PAR2 are important. The minimum value (PAR1) must be
greater than the maximum value (PAR2) in the previous run
file in order to:1)obtain a single data set sorted by increasing
value2)avoid duplicating composites in File 8The difference
OUTPUT:
between PAR1 in the current run and PAR2 from the previous
- File 8 run file is dictated by the precision of the sort item.
- Printer Output file
NOTE: This program should NOT be used for projects with
a rotated model.

The maximum allowed is 2000 on the RM Fortran platform and 75,000 on all other platforms.
Try reducing PAR3.

Initially the composites are coarsely sorted into increments of length PAR3 (see requiremetns and considerations). If
PAR3 is not sufficiently small, the number of composites per increment is exceeded. Attempt to lessen the number of
composites per increment by reducing PAR3. Note that PAR3 must be greater than or equal to (PAR2PAR1)/
mamimum number of sort subintervals.

4. ?M506V1 . . . ERROR. The number of words required to store data for 1 composite is xxx.
This value is stressing the limits of the program. Reduce the value of PAR3 and try again.

You will sometimes get this message if your File 8 requires more than 10 words to store data for one composite even
though the number of composites per sort increment is less than the maximum. Determine the number of words needed
to store one data unit (M105TS). If, for example, you need 20 words, then divide your PAR3 in half. If you need 30
words, divide by three.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M507V1 RUN

1. You must specify the correct number of format fields on the FMT1 line to match what will be output. If IOP5=0 or 1, the
REF# and DH-IDENT will be written out and must be included at the beginning of the format statement. If IOP5=2,
REF# is output at the beginning of the line; ROW# and DH-IDENT are output at the end of the line. Include the
appropriate formats.

2. Check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

PROCEDURE SUMMARY FOR USE OF M508RP

1. Define the arithmetic expression(s) with reference to the

item labels of File 9/8 (or 12) or the MSTorque database.

2. Prepare the input run file, including I-O=2 for a listing of

all items to be used in the run.

3. You should make a copy of the composite file before

testing M508RP if data will be stored from the run.

4. Make a test run with program M508RP, using options

IOP1 and IOP2 (M12 and N12) to specify a small portion
of File 9/8 (or 12) or the MSTorque database. Check the
results.

5. When M508RP provides satisfactory results, make a full

production run setting IOP1 and IOP2 as appropriate and
I-O=0.

6. Check output for all drillholes closely, with lists and

maps.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the M508RP run replaces existing

values in the composite file, there is no way to restore the original
file. Save a copy of the file (on disk or tape) before you begin
your M508RP run.

**MEDITM: GET ITEM= 1 TOTCU (for the first example above)
**MEDITM: GET ITEM= 2 MOLY
**MEDITM: GET ITEM= 3 EQCU

The MEDITM information (I-O=2) should allow you to check the items of information that will be retrieved (GET
items) from File 9/8 or 12. CHECK IF ALL DESIRED ITEMS ARE LISTED.

2. If you make a mistake in entering the variable names in the equations specified in the run file, the calculations will be in
error: IF RESULTS ARE NOT CORRECT, PLEASE CHECK THE EQUATIONS SPECIFIED AND LABELS IN THE
RUN FILE.

3. If there is no PUT item, nothing will be stored in File 9/8 or 12. Set IOP6=1 and make sure you include a PUTnn
statement. If IOP6=1 and no PUTnn was included, the error message

%WARNING - NO PUTnn LABELS WERE ENCOUNTERED

M508V1 USER INTERFACE FOR COMPOSITE FILES

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M508V1 accesses a user-coded subroutine for special M508V1 calls a user-coded FORTRAN subroutine (USR508)
calculations and reports from the composite Data File. Calculated to define a geologic code, perform a specified data calculation,
values may be stored into the composite Data File. or modify the composite interval data previously stored in File
9. Examples of this would be to define a code indicating property
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM ownership or to compute an equivalent grade.

RUN FILE: The user subroutine is called by the main routine (M508V1) a
number of times. A call is always made for initialization. The
- DH selection value of the argument NTRY, determines what action should
- Item selection
be taken in the subroutine:

NTRY=1 - Initialization

NTRY=2 - Process all DH intervals within specified surveys

NTRY=3 - Call at end of survey interval

INPUT: CALCS:
NTRY=4 - Call at end of each hole
- PCF - USR508 initialization
- File 9 - Select a DH and
- File 12 (optional) composite NTRY=5 - Call at end of run
- Perform user logic
- Optionally store data NTRY=6 - Same as NTRY=2 (second pass)

NTRY=7 - Same as NTRY=3 (second pass)

NTRY=8 - Same as NTRY=4 (second pass)

OUTPUT:
The drillhole reference number (IDHN) is also passed as an
- Updated File 9 argument from the main routine to the subroutine.
- Printer Output file
The composite file does not contain an item for the DH-IDENT.
If you require the DH-IDENT or the collar and survey data, you
must also access data in File 12. To avoid any access to File 12,
you must set IOP8=1.

Data can be selected on the basis of coordinate location and

through the use of Range, Omit or Table command lines. Data
Manually check the values reported from M508V1 or run can be read from or written to an ASCII file.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M508V1 RUN

1. %M508V1: WARNING. There are no PUT12 items.

You have selected IOP5=1 but not specified any PUT12 items.

2. %M508V1: WARNING. There are no PUT09 items.

You have selected IOP6=1 but not specified any PUT09 items.

3. If IO=2 is specified in the run file, MineSight routines will print a list of all the items in File 9 followed by the items
to be used, in the form

**MEDITM: FILE SAMP09.DAT PCF DESCRIPTORS ### ###

**MEDITM: ### REF #
**MEDITM: ### FROM items in File 9
.
.
**MEDITM: GET ITEM = 1 TOTCU (for the first example above)
**MEDITM: GET ITEM = 2 MOLY
**MEDITM: PUT ITEM = 3 EQCU

The MEDITM information (IO = 2) should allow you to check the items of information that will be retrieved (GET
items) from File 9. Check if all desired items are listed.

4. If M508V1 values are stored in File 9 that are either above the PCF maximum or below the minimum, the error message

* FOR FILE filename

NUMBER OF USR508 VALUES ABOVE MAX = n
NUMBER OF USR508 VALUES BELOW MAX = n

will appear.

5. A test run should always be performed on a small portion of the drillhole data before actually storing any calculations.
Include an option in your USR508 logic to list enough values to be able to check the calculations.

6. If you want an input or output sequential file, you must specify a 19=filename on the NAMES LINE. IOP7 must be set
appropriately.

7. Also check the MineSight error messages.

M516V1 CROSS-SECTION OFCOMPOSITE DATA (M122)

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

This program creates an M122 plot file for 2-D composite cross- To generate a cross-section, two steps are required:
sections defined by two end points.
Run M516V1 to create the M122 plot commands
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM
Run M122V1 to plot the section
RUN FILE:
Additional steps may be required to add special features such as
- DH selection
- Selection options title blocks, surface topography, etc. These extra features are
- Item selection brought together with the section plot commands when M122
is run. M516V1 does not detect overplotting on a drillhole by
other holes or closely space intervals. If overplotting does occur,
the M122 plot file can be edited to remove conflicts.

The program selects data within an area defined by two end

points and a perpendicular distance. The sections can be at any
INPUT: CALCS: orientation. Cutting planes on each side of the cross-section are
- PCF - Generate a file of M122 used to limit what drillhole data is selected. You may also select
- File 9 & 12 plot commands for data on the basis of File 12 unit numbers (IOP1 & IOP2).
processing by M122
You may also specify individual drillhole reference numbers
and depth ranges for each hole.

Composite intervals can be shaded and/or colored on grade

cutoffs, or as ticks or boxes on either side of the drillhole trace.

OUTPUT: Composite values can be labeled on either the right or left-hand

side of the drillhole trace.
- M122 Plot file
- Printer Output file There is an option for moving entire holes to avoid overplotting
(IOP19 & PAR9). File 9 values can be limited by the standard
Range, Omit or Table.

NOTE: Since the section can be at any azimuth through the

deposit, there is no convenient way to prepare any regular
coordinates specifying the location of each plot feature.
The output file from M516V1 must be processed with M122V1
to plot the map. Therefore, plot commands have an X coordinate that is measured
from the left-hand side of the plot in units of PAR7. The Y
coordinate is the actual elevation.

The M122V1 run file must specify an area that has X limits
from 0.0 to the section length in user units.

M516V2 CROSS-SECTION OFCOMPOSITE DATA (M122)

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

This program creates an M122 plot file for a 2-D cross-section To generate a cross-section, two steps are required:
displaying composite intervals without drillhole traces and
labels. A section is a volume defined by its endpoint coordinates Run M516V2 to create the M122 plot commands
and a perpendicular distance from the section line.
Run M122V1 to plot the section

- DH selection an interval, since File 12 is not accessed. Horizontal composites
- Section options will plot as a tick with a thickness of PAR10 and a label at 90o
- Item selection with the composite value.

Additional steps may be required to add special features such as

title blocks, surface topography, drillhole traces, etc. These extra
features are brought together with the section plot commands
when M122 is run.

INPUT: CALCS: M516V2 does not detect overplotting on a composite by other

composites or closely spaced intervals. If overplotting does

processing by M122
The program selects data within a volume defined by two end
points and a perpendicular distance. The sections can be at any
orientation. Only composite data within the section volume is
selected.

Composite intervals can be shaded and/or colored on grade

OUTPUT: cutoffs. Optionally, the composite intervals may be displayed
as ticks or boxes on either side of the drillhole trace.
- M122 Plot file
- Printer Output file
Composite values can be labeled on either the right or left hand
side of the drillhole trace.

File 9 values can be limited by the standard Range, Omit or

Table.

The output file from M516V2 must be processed with M122V1

to plot the map.

M516V2-CROSS-SECTION OFCOMPOSITE DATA (M122) Proprietary Software: Mintec, inc.

NOTE: Since the section can be at any azimuth through the

deposit, there is no convenient way to prepare any regular
coordinates specifying the location of each plot feature.
Therefore, plot commands have an X coordinate that corresponds
to the distance from the beginning of the section. For example,
a section from 10000 E, 10000 N to 12598 E, 11500 N would
have plot commands with X coordinates in the range of 0.0 to
3000.0. The Y coordinates correspond to the actual elevations.

Therefore, the M122V1 run file must specify an area that has X
limits from 0.0 to the section length in user units. If additional
data with actual section coordinates is to be included on the
same plot, the M122 SHIFT command must be used.

File 9 should have been initialized with the following types of

coordinate items:

X1 min max precision /Start of composite Easting

Y1 " " " /Start of composite Northing

Z1 " " " /Start of composite Elevation

X2 " " " /End of composite Easting

Y2 " " " /End of composite Northing

Z2 " " " /End of composite Northing

East " " " /Midpoint of composite Easting

North " " " /Midpoint of composite Northing

HOW TO DEBUG AN M516V2 RUN

1. To get a basic section you should specify at least a horizontal and vertical scale in the run file along with the
ITMn = label-09 VALUE line. You must also have a Section Definition Line.

2. *** # OF DH COLLARS FOR SECTION EXCEEDS MAXS

will occur if you have more than 250 drillholes on a section.

3. *** NO DRILLHOLES ON SECTION

will occur if no holes are found in the search limits.

4. *** ERROR: NO VALUE ENTERED **

will occur if the keyword VALUE does not appear on an ITM line.

5. Also check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

M517V1 LOAD VBM CODES TO ASSAY

OR COMPOSITE FILES

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The program M517V1 loads VBM feature codes to Files 8,9 or M517V1 assigns codes to assay/composite intervals that are
11. projected inside VBM features.

PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM The program can use VBMs with any orientation (including
non-orthogonal).
RUN FILE:
- VBM planes selection
The program can automatically read VBM orientation from the
- Feature codes/equivalent VBM file (if you have a new VBM file). You can also specify
codes selection VBM orientation with IOP5.

You may use a constant range of influence for each VBM plane
(given by PAR11) setting IOP30 = -1. However, if you are
working with a set of parallel planes the program will
automatically take a volume of influence for each plane half-
way between planes. You also have an option (IOP30=1) to use
INPUT: CALCS: the space between two planes (i.e from one bench toe to the
next). PAR11 in these cases may be used as the maximum
- PCF - Calculate intersections of
- VBM File 25
allowed range of influence.
drillhole projections with
- File 8 or VBM features
- File 9 and optional - Load codes to File 8/9/11 Feature codes and equivalent (geologic) codes are generally
File 12 or entered after the END line in a run-file. However, you may
- Files 11 and 12 choose to consider all 3-digit left and right codes (IOP11=1).
By default (IOP11=0 and IOP12=0) codes are equivalenced to
3-digit right codes. If you choose IOP11=1 equivalent codes
should be entered in a run file. You may equivalence several
OUTPUT: feature codes to the same geologic code.
- Updated File 8 or 9 or 11
You also have an option (IOP12=1) to consider 6-digit codes as
- Printer Output file
codes on the right of the feature. In this case you must enter
equivalent codes in a run file.

Some assay/composite intervals will not have corresponding

codes. You may set the value for them using IOP22=1 and IOP23
as a default value.

Some codes may be unresolved. You may use IOP24=1 to assign

a specific values to such intervals.If several features coincide,
the program may not be able to determine the proper codes from
the left or from the right of the features. In this case, the code
will be equivalenced to the value IOP25 (default=-1) and will
be called unresolved code of type 1.If there are inconsistencies
in coding, i.e., features intersect and codes do not match, and
the proper code can not be determined, then such codes will be
assigned equivalent code IOP26 (default=-2) and called
unresolved of type 2. You have an option to equivalence feature
codes before sorting intersections (IOP19=1) or after (IOP19=0).

After running M517V1, plot the assay or composite and VBM

files using M216V1/M516V1 and M654V1 to verify that desired
codes were loaded correctly.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M522V1 RUN

1. The program will list all the composites within the search window of each calculated row if I-O=2 is specified in the run
file. The program will also list all the items in the composite file, the total number of points calculated for each row, and
other debug information.

2. If the ellipsoidal search is used, then the 3-D distance calculated between a composite and the block will be the adjusted
distance based on the anisotropy ratios. This is the distance that is printed on the output file.

3. Do not use composite item labels that conflict with keywords used by the program.

4. If youre using more than one ITM command, number them sequentially, without repetition.

5. Multiple Area Selection Lines are allowed. The program will calculate the points specified in the first line, then will
calculate the points specified in the second line and so on. The only exception is when ASCII input option is used and
the composite data follows the run file.

6. The maximum number of composites that the program can handle for a single row is 64000. If this number is exceeded
the program will print an error message and stop calculating at that row. If this happens, first check if you can decrease
the X, Y or Z search distances used by the program. If you can, then try again starting from the row where the program
stopped and see if this will solve the problem. If it does not, try to specify fewer columns to interpolate by using multiple
Area Selection Lines.

7. The maximum number of composites that the program can handle for a single point is 64000. If this number is
exceeded, the program will give an error message and stop calculating at that point. If this happens, try a similar
approach as explained in Step 6.

8. A separate output file can be obtained for use with M525TS if 30=filename appears in the Names Line. See M525TS
program documentation on how to further evaluate the point kriging results.

9. ** ERROR ON INTERPOLATION AREA CARD **

will appear if
a) the minimum column exceeds the maximum column
b) the minimum row exceeds the maximum row, or
c) the minimum bench exceeds the maximum bench

M523V1 DECLUSTER COMPOSITE DATA

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M523V1 accesses the composite data file and computes the M523V1 is used to compute declustered composite data values
declustered composite values using the cell declustering when two or more data are considerably closer to one another
technique. than the average grid spacing. The program first overlays a grid
of cells as specified by the user. It then estimates each cell by the
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM arithmetic mean of the inside data. It can output the declustered
values to an ASCII file if IOP7=1. The user specifies the name
RUN FILE: of the output file in the Names Line as 19=filename.
- Cell size
- Controlling & limiting item Each composite receives a weight inversely proportional to
labels the number of data falling within the same cell. This decluster
weight is a value between 0 and 1. The program can optionally
store the weight for each composite to the data file that is being
accessed provided that an item is reserved in this file for storing
these weights.

The Printer Output File contains the statistics of the original and
INPUT: CALCS: the declustered data values. The histograms for both data sets
are also output. If the declustered data is output to an ASCII file,
- PCF - Find composites within the program M500V1 can be used to load this data to another
- File 9 or 8, or an each cell File 9 or 8 for storing.
MSTorque composite - Compute average cell
set value
- Compute decluster weight The cell size specified in PAR7, PAR8 and PAR9 for X, Y, and
Z directions are very important for the de-clustering results.
The cell size in the Z direction is normally equal to the bench
height unless the user wants to see the effect of increasing the
bench height. The cell sizes in the X and Y directions should
OUTPUT: be equal to the average spacing of the samples. Too small a cell
can result in practically no declustering because each cell may
- File 9 or MSTorque contain no more than one composite. Similarly, too large a cell
database
- Printer Output file
can result in artificial declustering of the composites which, in
with statistics and fact, should not be declustered. Therefore make a few test runs
histograms of original and and study the resulting statistics of the declustered composites
declustered composites before storing the final results.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M523V1 RUN

1. The order of GET09 or GET08 items is X, Y, Z and grade. If the items are not in this order or any of these items are
missing, the program may still attempt to decluster, however, the results will be incorrect if the execution does not stop
with an error message.

2. If there are less than two composites available, the following message will appear

?M523V1:ERROR. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DATA

No. of samples and/or cells = 0 (or 1)

3. If any of the cell size information (i.e., PAR7, PAR8 and PAR9) is not specified, the program will not execute.

4. If you did not specify the coordinate limits for declustering (i.e., PAR1-PAR6), the program will not default to the PCF
limits and execution ends with the following error message

?M523V1: ERROR. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DATA

No of samples and/or cells = 0 (or 1)

5. If IOP6=1 to store the declustering weight to File 9 or 8, but you did not specify an item to store these weights, the
following message will appear

%MEDITM: FILE filename NEEDS * PUT * LABELS FOR RUN

6. If IOP7=1 to dump the declustered composites to an ASCII file, but you did not specify this file on the Names Line, the
output will be written to a default File 19 named FOR019.DAT (on most machines).

7. Also check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M524V1 will interpolate each composite from its neighbors M524V1 will interpolate point composite data using inverse
by both kriging and inverse distance weighting, and will then distance and kriging. The program will compute an estimated
summarize the differences from the known composite values. grade for a data point using the surrounding data points without
including the point itself. This procedure is repeated for all the
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM data points within the search volume. This back-estimation
or jackknife estimation is an important step in verifying
RUN FILE: interpolation parameters.
- Interpolation parameters
- Search distances or Besides kriging each point, the program will also compute five
ranges more estimated grades using different powers of inverse distance
- Controlling & limiting item (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0). The result for each data point is
labels
listed in the Printer Output File. A summary of the results and
estimation errors are provided at the end of the output.

A variogram model must be specified in the run file. Four types

of variograms are allowed: spherical, linear, exponential and
INPUT: CALCS: gaussian. These variograms may consist of a single model or
- PCF - FInd composites within a nested model which is a combination of several different
- File 9 or File 8 or search window variograms. As many as five variograms are allowed for a nested
MSTorque composite - Match geology codes model. Multiple grades may be interpolated if the same search
set - Apply limiting factor parameters and variogram model apply to each grade item.
- Compute weights &
grades
COORDINATE PARAMETERS

PAR1-3 control the primary coordinate selection of data from

File 9 (or File 8) composites, the ASCII composite file or the
OUTPUT: MSTorque composite set. These parameters may come from
analyses in geostatistics, preliminary interpolation runs or from
- File 9 or MSTorque
database deposit experience.
- Optional Output file for
M525TS 1. The primary coordinate selection is usually based upon the
- Printer Output file range of ZTOE - PAR3 to ZTOE + PAR3, where ZTOE is
the toe elevation of the bench to be used.

If topographic or other 2-D data is to be interpolated, then

this selection is not used. However, you should set PAR3
to be a small non-zero value (e.g. 0.1).

2. The secondary coordinate selection is always based upon

the range of YMID - PAR2 to YMID + PAR2, where YMID
is the midpoint northing of the row to be used. Eastings are
in the range XMIN - PAR1 to XMAX + PAR1.

The composites selected for the entire row are kept in

program memory while interpolating the blocks in that row.

USE OF MULTIPLE VARIOGRAMS

In general, there are two cases where multiple variograms are

used:

1. to specify a different variogram for each item to be kriged

2. to specify a different variogram for each geologic unit if

only one item is to be kriged.

Multiple variograms cannot be used to specify different

variograms by grade and rock type together in the same run,
that is, you cannot combine the above two situations in a single
run. If variograms are broken down by rock type, each grade
must be kriged separately.

Multiple variograms are always specified in an external file listed

on the run file Names Line as File31=filename.

I. Primary 3-D search parameters defining a box around a block.

PAR1 = X-SEARCH DISTANCE

PAR2 = Y-SEARCH DISTANCE
PAR3 = Z-SEARCH DISTANCE (default=0.1)

These parameters define a rectangular box around the block to be interpolated. This is illustrated in the 600 - series Technical
Section and Figure 1 below.

Figure 1. Definition of Primary Coordinate Search Parameters (PAR1, PAR2, and PAR3)

All of the composites within this rectangular box are checked against the maximum 3-D search distance (PAR4). The composites
that are less than or equal to this distance from the center of the box are retained for further screening, such as geologic matching.

If there are more than n number of composites for a given block after all the tests, then the composites are sorted by increasing distance.
Only the closest n are retained for calculation of the weights. Based on these weights, the grade of the block is computed and stored.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To interpolate GSM or 2-D surface data, the coordinate selection must be based on X and Y coordinates only.
If this is the case, use one of the following command in your run file:

ITMn = CARD DATA INPUT SCAN2-D (ASCII Input Data) OR

ITMn = FILE DATA INPUT SCAN2-D (Composite File 9)

depending on which source is appropriate.

II. Optional full 3-D (ellipsoidal) search parameters defining a trend search within the primary search

To add a full 3-D search within the primary search explained above include the following command:

CMD = SEARCH RY RX RZ ROTN DIPN DIPE

or
CMD = SEARCH GSLIB RY RX RZ ROT1 ROT2 ROT3
or
CMD = SEARCH COORD filename RY RX RZ
where

SEARCH = Keyword for the program indicating a 3-D search

RY = Search distance (range) in the new north (major-axis) direction
RX = Search distance (range) in the new east direction
RZ = Search distance (range) in the new up direction

Revised: 14-August-14 Page 524-7

 MineSight is a registered

ROTN = Rotation from the old north axis to the new north axis (clockwise is a positive rotation)
DIPN = Dip of the new north axis measured horizontally (negative dip is plunging down)
DIPE = Dip easterly from the new north axis (the horizontal component of this vector is 90 degrees clockwise from
the horizontal component of the new axis. The dip is measures as in DIPN)

GSLIB = Keyword to specify GSLIB rotation entry

ROT1 = Horizontal rotation of north axis
ROT2 = Rotation of the north axis hrom horizontal
ROT3 = Final rotation around the new north axis
COORD = Keyword to specify rotation with three points
filename = Name of the ASCII file with coordinates of these point

For a detailed description of rotation parameters see the 600-series Technical Section.

You must use IOP6 with this command.

Figures 2, 3, and 4 below and Sample Run File #2 show the relationships of the various parameters for ellipsoidal search.

Figure 2. Definition of ROTN, RY and RX used in Figure 3. Definition of DIPN, RY and RZ used in Figure 4. Definition of DIPE, RX and RZ in 3-D
3-D Ellipsoidal Coordinate Search 3-D Ellipsoidal Coordinate Search Ellipsoidal Coordinate Search

This search forms an ellipsoid around the center of the block based on the search ranges and angles used. The composites within this
ellipsoid are retained for calculations. The 3-D distances (RX, RY, RZ) between the block center and the composites are adjusted
distances based on anisotropy ratios between the ranges. Therefore, if the full 3-D search is used, the value of the maximum 3-D
search distance (PAR4) must reflect the distance in the new coordinates.

III. Optional interpolation parameters

PAR7 = MAXIMUM DISTANCE TO CLOSEST POINT FOR INTERPOLATION (default = PAR4)

PAR8 = MAXIMUM DISTANCE TO PROJECT SINGLE COMPOSITE VALUE (default = PAR7)

NOTE: If the number of composites retained for a block equals IOP7, then PAR8 is tested.

IV. Optional inverse distance powers

PAR13-17= INVERSE DISTANCE POWERS (default = 1 through 3 with .5 increments)

V. Specification of variogram model parameters

The M524V1 run file must contain the specifications of one variogram model to be used for kriging interpolation. To specify the
nugget and sill values for the variogram, enter the following command lines:

CMD = NUGGET nug-value

CMD = SPH sill-value R1 R2 R3 [ROTN DIPN DIPE]
or
CMD = SPH GSLIB sill-value R1 R2 R3 ROT1 ROT2 ROT3
or
CMD = SPH COORD filename R1 R2 R3
where

NUGGET = Keyword for the program (could be abbreviated NUG)

nug-value = The nugget value for the variogram. If zero is entered, the program sets it to a very small number
(0.000001).

SPH = Keyword for the program for spherical model.

Use LIN for a linear variogram or EXP for an exponential.
sill-value = Individual sill value for the specified variogram (C1 or C2, etc.).
For a single model, this value is equal to total sill minus the nugget.
R1 = Range in the new north (major-axis) direction
R2 = Range in the new east direction
R3 = Range in the new up direction
ROTN = Rotation from the old north axis to the new north axis
(clockwise is a positive rotation)
DIPN = Dip of the new north axis measured horizontally
(negative dip is plunging down)
DIPE = Dip easterly from the new north axis
(the horizontal component of this vector is 90 degrees clockwise from the horizontal component of the
new north axis. The dip is measured as in DIPN.)

GSLIB = Keyword to specify GSLIB rotation entry

ROT1 = Horizontal rotation of north axis
ROT2 = Rotation of the north axix from horizontal
ROT3 = Final rotation around the new north axis
COORD = Keyword to specify rotation with three points
filename = Name of the ASCII file with coordinates of these points.

For a detailed description of rotation parameters, see the 600-series Technical Section.

NOTES:
1. Nested variogram models can be entered by adding more Variogram Specification Lines in your run file (max=5). For
example, a nested spherical model could be entered as:

CMD = NUGGET CO
CMD = SPH C1 R1 R2 R3 ...
CMD = SPH C2 R4 R5 R6 ...

where CO=NUGGET, CO+C1+C2=SILL, R1 R2 R3= 3-D ranges of the first structure, R4 R5 R6=3-D ranges of the
second structure, etc.

Revised: 14-August-14 Page 524-9

M524V1-POINT VALIDATION FOR INTEROLATION trademark of Leica Geosystems AG.

2. The program allows the interpolation of multiple grades provided that these grades have the same variogram parameters.

3. Horizontal and vertical anisotropy ratios are calculated based on the 3-D ranges entered. For example, if R1=100, R2=50
and R3=40, then horizontal anisotropy ratio = R1/R2 = 2.0 vertical anisotropy ratio = R1/R3 = 2.5

4. If rotation is specified, the 3-D ranges will be in the new coordinate system defined by these angles. For example, by
default R1 is the range in the north-south direction. However, if ROTN=45, then R1 will be the range in the NE-SW
direction. The direction of R2 and R3 will similarly be affected based on these angles. See figures 2, 3 and 4 on page
524-8.

Sample run file #7 demonstrates the use of these commands.

VI. Multiple Variogram Specification

Multiple variograms are used for two cases.

CASE 1 There are multiple items to krige and each item has its own variogram, e.g., kriging gold and silver grades with the same
run file but having different variograms for gold and silver.

Warning: When kriging multiple items, the program assumes that the same number of composites are available for the secondary
items as for the primary item. In other words, inconsistent missing intervals such as a missing value for one item but not the other
ones, will produce erroneous results.

CASE 2 Only one item is to be kriged but there are different variograms for each geologic unit, e.g., kriging gold grades with
a different variogram for each rock type. For this case, the label of the geologic item must be specified with either of the following
commands:

ITMn = label-15 label09 MATCH MODEL

ITMn = label-15 BLOCK LIMIT and CMD = BLOCK LIMIT CODES V1 V2 . . . Vn

In both cases, parameters for multiple variograms are entered through an external input file. The variogram parameter file name
is entered in the run file on the names line as 31=filename. When there is a file name specified in the run file, the program will
automatically look for this file and try to read it. Any variogram parameter specified in the run file through the CMD function is
ignored. Examples of the variogram file for each case follow.

NOTE: There has to be one set of variogram parameters specified for each item or geologic type to be
kriged even when the variogram parameters are the same for more than one item. As many
as nine items or geologic types can be kriged simultaneously. However, the total number of
model items to be stored cannot exceed ten. option will interpolate the specified block codes
(points) without using these codes in the interpolation.

CASE 1 The lines of a variogram parameter file are as follows:

Line #1: Description or comment line

Line #2: Nugget value for the first item
Line #3: TYPE SILL R1 R2 R3 ROTN DIPN DIPE, where

TYPE = Variogram type: 1=Spherical, 2=Linear, 3=Exponential, 4=Gaussian

SILL = Sill of the variogram excluding the nugget value
R1
R2
R3 The same as specified earlier in this documentation

Line #3A, #3B Optional (Nested variogram parameters if necessary)

Line #4: 0 or -1: End of the variogram parameters input

Line #5, #6, #6A, #6B, #7 Repeat of Lines 2-4 for the variogram parameters to be used for krig item #2.

NOTE: Specify a set of variograms for each item to be kriged. For example, if five items are to be
kriged, there must be five sets of variogram parameters.

If there are more variograms than the number of krige items, the program ignores the extra
variograms. However, if there are more krige items than variograms, the program will stop
with an error message.

CASE 1 Sample variogram parameter file:

Parameters for items LEAD, ZINC, SILV, TCU Comment Line
.0013 Nugget value
1 .0245 150 120 60 0 0 0 Parameters
0 End of input
.008 Nugget value

Sample Run File #7 demonstrates the use of this option.

CASE 2 The lines of a variogram parameter file are as follows:

Line #1: VARITM = label-15

Line #2: Nugget value for the first geologic code Integer geologic code

Lines #3, #3A, #3B, #4 are the same as Case 1.

Lines 24 Repeat for the remaining geologic codes.

VII. Relative elevation specification:

Enter the following command if relative elevation is to be used:

CMD = ELEV IS label-09

VIII. Item definition lines for values to be computed & stored:

ITMn = M524 label-09 CALC KRIGE

(Ordinary kriging)
ITMn = M524 label-09 ALOG KRIGE
(Ordinary lognormal kriging)

M524V1 can store the estimated grade of a point from kriging and/or the estimation error computed for that point to File 9 or to an
MSTorque database. Include the following lines in your run file to use this option:

ITMn = M524 labl1-09 STORE KRIGE

ITMn = M524 labl2-09 STORE ERROR
where

M524 = Keyword for the program

labl1-09 = Label of the composite item to store the kriged estimate of the point
labl2-09 = Label of the composite item to store the estimation error for the point
STORE KRIGE = Keywords for the program
STORE ERROR = Keywords for the program

Sample run file #9 demonstrates the use of this option.

NOTES ON ITEM DEFINITION LINES:

1. CALC KRIGE can be used for ordinary kriging. Kriging provides an estimation variance for each block kriged. This
value can be obtained using BLOCK ERROR.

2. ALOG KRIGE can be used in place of CALC KRIGE if you need to use the natural logarithms of grades instead of
actual grades.

3. At least one ITM to CALC KRIGE or to ALOG KRIGE must be included in each run. STORE KRIGE and STORE
ERROR are optional.

4. STORE ERROR can be used only if CALC KRIGE or ALOG KRIGE is used. Normally, ordinary kriging variance
is stored as the error of estimation, but if ALOG KRIGE is used, the stored value is the relative logarithmic kriging
variance.

IX. Matching geology codes

In order for the program to use the composites with the same geology code in the interpolation, include the following lines in your
run file:

IOP4 = 1

ITMn = M524 label-09 MATCH MODEL (simple match)

or
ITMn = M524 label-09 MATCH POLYG (assign & match)
where

Page 524-12 Revised: 14-August-14

MineSight is a registered
trademark of Leica Geosystems AG. M524V1-POINT VALIDATION FOR INTERPOLATION

M524 = Keyword for the program

label-09 = Label of composite item for geologic codes
MATCH MODEL= Keywords for the program indicating geologic matching. A maximum of 3 geologic
matchings is allowed.
MATCH POLYG = Keywords for the program indicating polygonal assignment of codes as well as
geologic matching

Sample run file #3 demonstrates the use of this option.

X. Interpolate selected geology types

Interpolation can be limited to certain geology types based on specified codes in the run file. Use the following lines in your run file:

CMD = BLOCK LIMIT label-09 v1 v2 ... vn

ITMn = M524 label-09 LIMIT
where

BLOCK LIMIT = Keywords for the program indicating the option for geology limiting.
v1, v2 ... vn = Numeric values between 1 and 999999 of the items used for geology limiting.
More than one code line may be entered if needed.
label-09 = Label of composite item with geology codes
LIMIT = Keyword for the program

Sample run file #4 demonstrates the use of this option.

XI. Using alias geology codes

To assign alias (assumed) geology codes to the composites used in the interpolation of a point, specify the number of cross reference
codes in IOP13 and include a line after the END line in your run file for the cross reference codes. For example, if you have five
geology codes (1 through 5) and you want to interpolate the points with codes 1 or 2. You want to use composites with codes 1 or 3
to interpolate the points with code 1 and you also want to use composites with codes 2, 4 and 5 to interpolate the points with code
2. First include in your run file BLOCK LIMIT and MATCH options. Then set the following option in your run file: IOP13 = n. For
the above example, you would have IOP13=5, then 1 2 1 2 2 after the END line in your run file. Sample run file #6 demonstrates
the use of this option.

XII. Input from an ASCII file

The composite assay data input to the interpolation programs is normally from MineSight Data File 8. However, the programs are
also designed to read data from an ASCII file. To use an ASCII input file, follow the steps below:

1. Include REF# (or DHID), X, Y and Z coordinates (if 3-D interpolation), and a grade item on each line of input.
2. Include 8=CARD in the Names Line of your run file. Also include 19=filename if the data is in a separate file.
3. Also include the following line in your run file:

INP8 = REF# EAST NORTH ELEV. value1 ... geol1

where

REF#, EAST, NORTH, ELEV. = Keywords for the program (not necessarily in this order)
value1, value2, etc = Grade items to interpolate
geol1, etc. = Geology items to interpolate

The format of the data in the ASCII file is free field format.

4. The following line is optional and can be included to specify a CALC items minimum value. Otherwise the minimum is
assumed to be zero.

CMD=CALC MINn value

Revised: 14-August-14 Page 524-13

M524V1-POINT VALIDATION FOR INTEROLATION trademark of Leica Geosystems AG.

where

CALC keyword
MINn indicates which CALC item from the INP line is being set
value the minimum value.

For example:

INP8 = REF# EAST NORTH ELEV. TOPO ROCK

CMD = CALC MIN2 7

will set the minimum value of ROCK (the second CALC item) to 7.

If composite data lines are included within the run input file, then only one Area Specification Line can be used. Sample Run File
#5 demonstrates the use of this option.

XIII. Universal Kriging

Use the following line in your run file to use this option:

CMD = UNIV KRIGE ITEM label-09

where

UNIV KRIGE ITEM = Keywords for the program

label-09 = The label of the universal kriging item in the composite file.
This label must be NORTH, EAST or ELEV.

Up to three lines can be entered. Sample run file #8 demonstrates the use of this option.

XIV. Selection of the composites used in interpolation

Composites used in interpolation can be selected using RANGE, OMIT or TABLE with the ITMn command. See ITMn commands
in the Introduction for an explanation of these options.

Sample run file #10 demonstrates the use of these options.

XV. Area Influence Kriging

An extra line is added in the run file:

CMD = USE AIK factor

where

USE AIK keywords, factor is the proportion of area of influence. If this proportion is 1.0, a sample will have 100%
influence to the blocks within its area of influence.

1. CROSS REFERENCE LINES (for alias geology codes, IOP13>0)

10 integer values per line (free-field format)

Example: If IOP13=5 (block codes are 1 to 5) & if 1 1 3 3 3 are input for cross reference, then data with geologic codes 1 & 2 will
be used as the same type, with codes 3, 4 & 5 used together.

2. AREA SELECTION LINES

IX1 IX2 IY1 IY2 IZ1 IZ2 M09 N09

Columns Rows Levels First and last composite stored (default=use all)

3. COMPOSITE DATA LINES (if CARD DATA INPUT was specified)

See the Technical Section for a complete description of these lines. If Composite Data Lines are included within the run file, then only
one Area Specification Line can be used. If Composite Data Lines are in a separate file, include a 19=filename in the Names Line.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M524V1 RUN

1. The program will list all the composites within the search window of each interpolated row if I-O=2 is specified in the
run file. The program will also list all the items in the composite file, the total number of points interpolated for each row,
and other debug information. This option is not suggested when interpolating the entire composite data.

2. If IOP2=n, the program will print the location of composites, the distance to the point, and the grades and weights for n
interpolated points.

3. If the ellipsoidal search is used, then the 3-D distance calculated between a composite and the block will be the adjusted
distance based on the anisotropy ratios. This is the distance that is printed on the output file when the debug option is on.

4. The difference between PAR7 and PAR8 is very subtle. PAR7 is tested at all times. PAR8 is tested only if the number of
composites to interpolate the point is equal to IOP7.

5. Five inverse powers are used by the program. By default these powers are: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0. The higher the
inverse power, the more weight is given to the nearest sample.

6. Do not use composite item labels that conflict with keywords used by the program.

7. If youre using more than one ITM command, number them sequentially, without repetition.

8. Multiple Area Selection Lines are allowed. The program will interpolate the points specified in the first line, then will
interpolate the points specified in the second line and so on. The only exception is when ASCII input option is used and
the composite data follows the run file.

9. The maximum number of composites that the program can handle for a single row is 2000. If this number is exceeded
the program will print an error message and stop interpolating at that row. If this happens, first check if you can decrease
the X, Y or Z search distances used by the program. If you can, then try again starting from the row where the program
stopped and see if this will solve the problem. If it does not, try to specify fewer columns to interpolate by using multiple
Area Selection Lines.

10. The maximum number of composites that the program can handle for a single point is 1500. If this number is exceeded,
the program will give an error message and stop interpolating at that point. If this happens, try a similar approach as
explained in Step 9.

11. A separate output file can be obtained for use with M525TS if 30=filename appears in the Names Line. See M525TS
program documentation on how to further evaluate the point kriging results.

12. ** ERROR ON INTERPOLATION AREA CARD **

will appear if

a) the minimum column exceeds the maximum column

b) the minimum row exceeds the maximum row, or
c) the minimum bench exceeds the maximum bench

13. ** ITEM DEFINITION ERROR MSINL1 **

NO ITEMS HAVE BEEN SET UP TO BE STORED

will appear if you do not specify any ITMn lines that will store data in the model file.

14. *** MSINL1 ERROR: PAR xx NOT ENTERED

will appear if PAR1-4 are not entered.

Revised: 14-August-14 Page 524-27

 MineSight is a registered
M524V1-POINT VALIDATION FOR INTEROLATION trademark of Leica Geosystems AG.

15. *** MSINLZ ERROR: MORE THAN 2 POLYG ITEMS

will appear if you specify more than two ITMn = CALC POLYG lines.

16. ** MSINLZ ERROR: MORE THAN 2 GEOL ITEMS

will appear if you specify more than two items for geology matching.

17. ** M524V1 WARNING. You can only check for duplicate points on blasthole projects. IOP21 is being reset to 0.

IOP21 is applicable to blasthole projects only. There is no need to check for duplicate composites on non-blasthole
projects. If you try to activate IOP21 for a non-blasthole project it will be reset to zero and the program will continue

M525TS INTERACTIVE EVALUATION OF POINT VALIDATION

PROGRAM SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

M525TS is used to evaluate point validation results from M525TS is used to evaluate point interpolation results from
M524V1. The program outputs a statistical analysis of the data M524V1. It can also be used to evaluate other ASCII data.
and histograms for specified items. It can also be used to analyze
any other file of assay or composite data. The output consists of statistical analysis of the input data and
histograms of the requested items. Either the items alone or the
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM difference between any of the two can be evaluated.

RUN FILE: If two items are selected, the program generates the statistics
for these items and their differences. The program will try to fit
- Interactive keyboard entry
a straight line through the data, using least square regression, to
see how these two items are correlated. The correlation results
are then output..

Currently, up to eight different items and a maximum of 16,000

samples are allowed for input in a single run.

The program also has an option for a scatter graph on a printer

INPUT: CALCS: or plotter. A scatter graph can be useful to visually display how
two items, such as the actual and the estimated grade, compare
- ASCII file of samples - Simple statistical analysis
for statistical analysis - Histogram calculations with each other. If the printer option is used, then the number of
- Correlation between items samples at each interval is displayed by a number or letter symbol
- Least square regression on the graph. Because of the size of the characters in printer
output, the graph is rectangular instead of square. However, it
reasonably demonstrates how the samples are distributed and it
is good for a quick look at the results. A more accurate display
can be obtained using the scatter plot option where each sample
is plotted at its exact corresponding value. If this option is used,
OUTPUT: the scatter plot commands are output to a specified file for
plotting later with M122V1.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M525TS RUN

1. There is no debug option in M525TS. The program will give the appropriate error messages or stop if the input is in
error. For example, if the input file entered during the program run does not exist, the program will give the appropriate
message and ask for the input filename again. Similarly, if the input format is wrong, the program will ask for the format
again. If the format is entered wrong several times, the program will stop with a format error message.

2. Check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

CALCULATION OF COMPOSITES

Limiting Angle

Two types of fixed length composites can be calculated with M501V1: vertical and horizontal. The limiting angle controls which
method is used for a hole. By default, the limiting angle is:

Limiting Angle = ARCTAN (DZ/DX)

where
DZ = PCF Bench Height
DX =PCF E-W direction Block Size

NOTE: If you choose a non-default limiting angle in M501V1 (PAR4), then you must remember to include this
value in your M505V1 (PAR1) and M516V1 (PAR13) runfiles.

Vertical Composites

If the dip angle of a drillhole is greater than the limiting angle, a vertical composite is calculated. The vertical bench height (DZ) is
used as the control for compositing. The weight used in compositing is the calculated vertical length of each sample interval, not the
slope length of the interval.

Horizontal Composites

When the dip angle of a drillhole is less than the limiting angle, a horizontal composite is calculated. This prevents long vertical
composites being generated for near-horizontal drillholes. The E-W direction block size (DX) is used as the control for compositing.
The weight used in compositing is the calculated horizontal length of each sample interval, not the slope length of the interval.

Once the compositing calculation is begun with either the vertical or horizontal method, it will be used for the entire hole regardless
of subsequent surveys. There may be times when you will want to specify a limiting angle to prevent horizontal compositing of a few
holes that are close to, but less than the default angle. You should check for any holes that have surveys that are close to the limiting
angle and decide if they should be composited horizontally or vertically.

Note about using the DHID option in the composite file (File 9) without the survey file (File 12):

Starting with the 2001 update you can store drillhole labels with composites in files 9 and 8. To use this option, you must reserve two
full-word items in file9. By default, MineSight programs expect those items to be named DHID1 and DHID2, but you can name
them differently. These items are similar to DLAB1 and DLAB2 in the survey file (File 12). To initialize a full-word item enter min
= max = 0., and precision = 1.

NOTE: A 10-character drillhole ID is coded and packed into two words. The actual DH ID can be retrieved only programmatically,
and you must direct MineSight programs to retrieve DHID from file9. The option to use DHID from file9 directly was added to all
the relevant procedures.

NOTES FOR M508V1 DRIVER PROGRAM

M508V1 calls the user routine USR508 as follows:

CALL USR508 (NTRY,IDHN), where

1. NTRY is an integer argument specifying entry control as follows: NTRY=1 for subroutine initialization. The call is
made after program initialization but before any drillhole data is accessed.

NTRY=2 for each drillhole interval within the current survey data unit. Interval data is subject to ITM restrictions as are
survey data units. Collar survey data units are also subject to boundary restrictions.

NTRY=3 for user calculations at the end of a survey data unit.

NTRY=4 for user calculations at the end of all survey data units for the current drillhole.

NTRY=5 for user calculations at the end of all drillholes (or end of run).

NTRY=6 same as NTRY=2 but in the optional second pass of the data. It follows an NTRY of 4 for each drillhole.

NTRY=7 same as NTRY=3 for the optional second pass.

NTRY=8 same as NTRY=4 for the optional second pass.

2. IDHN is an integer argument containing the current drillhole reference number. IDHN is zero for NTRY=l and
NTRY=5.

In addition to other system common blocks, the following common block data is available:

/BUF/B12(1024), B09(1024)

1. B12 is an array containing the File 12 record in which the current survey data unit is located. See the /USR/ common
block for information of addressing data units.

2. B09 is an array containing the File 9 record in which the current interval data unit is located. Most words in B12 are
accessible directly although you may have to equivalence a floating point array to avoid conversion problems. File 9
data is usually packed in array B09 so, unless you understand MineSight packing schemes, you are advised to keep
your paws off this array.

/USR/K09GET, L09GET, K09PAK, L09PAK, LOC09, J09, K09, L09, K12GET, L12GET,
K12PAK, L12PAK, LOC12, J12, K12, L12

1. K09GET is the integer subscript for information in the ITM common block for the first File 9 GET item. Arrays of
interest are ITM(3,99), RDAT(99) and IDAT(99).

2. L09GET is the subscript for the last File 9 GET item.

3. K09PAK is the subscript for the first File 9 PAK item.

4. L09PAK is the subscript for the last File 9 PAK item. If you use UPD09 in your run file, then GET subscripts will fall
within the range of the PUT subscripts.

5. LOC09 is the base subscript of the current interval data unit and is addressed by B09 (LOC09 + 1).

6. J09 is the current File 9 data unit number.

7. K09 is the first data unit number of interval data for the current survey data unit.

8. L09 is the last data unit number for the current survey data unit.

THE REMAINING INTEGERS ARE THE SAME AS ABOVE BUT APPLICABLE TO File 12.

Access to MSTorque
Composite Set Data

A number MineSight programs have access to MSTorque Composites. They include the m620-interpolation programs, m508rp,
m522v1, m523v1, m524v1, m617v1 and a number of programs based on the m508v1 driver (cldiff, gn508crd, gn508grd,
gn508tru, gncmpint, vvc508).

To indicate MSTorque data, on the names line specify 9=TORQ and also add the MSTorque information file, mstorq.inf. For
all programs except interpolation, m522v1 and m524v1, enter 20=mstorq.inf. For m522v1, m524v1 and the m620-interpolation
programs (m620v1/v2, m621v1, m624v1, etc), the torque information file should is entered as file 19: 19=mstorq.inf

Structure of mstorq.inf:

The MSTorque info file consists of following keywords:

version - 2.0.0.0

torquepath - The path to MSTorque.exe, usually %medexe%\MSTorque.

connection - This and project are used if you are using Windows authentication. If datasource occurs in this file, then
connection and project are ignored.

project - The MSTorque project name.

datasource - SQL authentication. If you have this keyword in the info file, then connection and project are ignored. Datasource
uses an .xml file - do not edit this file or try to prepare it by hand. The content is created by MSCompass when the MSTorque
database you are using is attached.

coverage - The Composite Set name.

type - The type of sample site. To access drillholes only use drillholes for the keyword value, for blastholes use blastholes, to
access other composite sample site types use other, and to get all types of composite sample sites use all. If the keyword type
is not present, all will be used by default.

Example:

version 2.0.0.0
torquepath d:\medexe7.50\mstorque
connection tucn-ws018\sqlexpress2008r2
project osamp_2.5
type drillholes
coverage formation

Specifying Attributes in Names and CMD lines:

You can use composite attributes in ITM/CMD and GET09/PUT09 lines.

Attributes that include blanks, apostrophes () and slashes (/) should be enclosed in quotes, e.g.

GET09 = My Name1 Date/Time

If an attribute contains quotes, enclose the name in apostrophes (single quotes).

Accessing additional data:

Use keywords to access:

Keyword Description
East Mid-Span Easting
North Mid-Span Northing
Elev. Mid-Span Elevation
From Depth to the composite start
To or -TO- Depth to the composite end
Length or LNGTH Composite interval Length along the hole
XTop Easting at the top of the interval span
YTop Northing at the top of the interval span
ZTop Elevation at the top of the interval span
XBot Easting at the bottom of the interval span
YBot Northing at the bottom of the interval span
ZBot Elevation at the bottom of the interval span
TotLen Composited length
TotWt Composited weight

Top and bottom coordinates are calculated on the fly when the data is loaded to an MSBasis program.

Note: The names above are treated as keywords by MSBasis programs to access corresponding data and should not be used as
attribute names .

Accessing Enumerated Sample Attributes:

Programs are enabled to retrieve Enumeration Codes for Sample Attributes which have Data Type Enumeration (see MSTorque
documentation for details), modify codes and write them back to MSTorque database.
