Surpac Geology Fundamentals
Presenter Rowdy Bristol Dates (Perth):

18th March 2013 1st July 2013 25th November 2013

The Course: Optiro presents a one day training course which has been drawn from industry best practice as well as more than twenty years of Surpac experience. The course covers the basics of using Surpac as a geologist, and is highly recommended as a prerequisite for the Surpac Resource Evaluation Course. Through this course, you will learn about the fundamental concepts of Surpacs interface, graphics environment, geology database, string files, DTM surfaces, solids modelling (wireframing), block modelling and macros. These concepts are reinforced through a large number of practical activities, all of which involve using Surpac on a real-life data set.

Outcomes: During the course, you will learn: all of components of the Surpac interface, and how to customise them to your needs about the structure and use of Surpacs data types (e.g. string files, DTMs) how to use the graphics environment to display, create and modify data how to import and export data to other formats how to create, view, and report volumes of DTM surfaces and solid models (wireframes) how to create contours from DTM surfaces and solid models how to create geological databases and block models Professional development, training and mentoring for the mining industry how to import, export, display, and report data in a geology databases and block models how to create, modify, and run macros to improve your efficiency using Surpac

Course Outline: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Introduction course overview, understand key outcomes and your goals The Surpac Interface understanding all of the main components and how to customise them to improve your efficiency Surpac Data - how to display, import, export, and convert the most commonly used data types (e.g. strings, DTMs, CSV, other Geological Mining Software) Macros learn how to save time by creating, editing, and running Tcl scripts String Editing learn how to create, and modify strings in graphics and via file tools Geology Database understand database structure, how to create a database, as well as how to import, export, and display data DTM Surfaces learn how to create, view, display, contour, and report volumes Solids Modelling learn how to create, view, display, contour, and report volumes Block Modelling learn basic block model concepts such as sub-blocking, how to create and display a block model, import and export data, and generate grade-tonnage reports

The Presenter: Rowdy Bristol BSc, MSc Rowdy Bristol has presented hundreds of Surpac courses to thousands of participants worldwide over the past 20 years. Rowdy has a strong mining production background using and training Surpac as a geologist, engineer, and surveyor. Who should attend? The course is designed for geologists who would like to understand the basics of the geological modelling functions using Surpac. If you plan to attend the Surpac Resource Estimation course, but have very little or no prior knowledge of Surpac, this course is for you. You do not need to have any prior experience with Surpac, but you should be familiar with basic mining and geology concepts. What do you need to bring? What will we provide? Attendees should bring a laptop with Microsoft Office and Surpac installed. Optiro will provide a course manual, activities and solutions, lunch and refreshments. A Surpac license can be provided for an additional fee. In-house Courses: As an alternative to our public courses we are able to present any of our professional development offerings at your minesite or operation. This is often a much more cost-effective solution; moreover, we can tailor the course content to your commodity or operation and use your data for the exercises and activities.
