MineSight 500-Series Programs
The MineSight 500-series programs are used to create, update, manipulate and display the drillhole composite File 8 (sorted composites) and File 9 (unsorted composites). A composite is the weighted average of a set of samples that fall within a defined boundary. This boundary may be a bench or a seam. The weighting factor is usually the sample length, but in some cases it may also include the sample specific gravity. Composites are used in the interpolation of the deposit model instead of samples because they Provide a mining basis for modeling Reduce the amount of data used Provide uniform support for geostatistics There are two primary MineSight programs used to calculate drillhole composites: M501V1 - composites within regular elevations M501SM - composites within variable elevations (seams) for each drillhole M501V1 uses the table of elevations stored in the PCF to determine which portions of each drillhole fall within each vertical bench. The averages are computed using the actual length between the elevations of a bench as the usual weighting factor. This table of elevations is entered with and maintained by M101V1. An option within M501V1 allows you to select a separate item stored in File 11 (e.g., specific gravity) to be used as an additional weighting factor. M501V1 requires that the composite type BENCH is specified when initializing File 9. M501SM uses a seam code (integer values) to control the compositing process rather than a table of elevations. All drillhole data with the same code is averaged into a single composite using sample lengths as the weighting factor. An optional geologic item may be used to select specified types of material for the composite averages. M501SM requires that the composite type SEAM is specified when initializing File 9. You also have the option to enter composites which have been calculated either manually or with another program. This data is loaded into the composite Data Files with M500V1. When composites are calculated with M501V1 or M501SM, an explicit linkage is created between File 12 and File 9. The drillhole identifier and survey data are stored in File 12 but not in File 9. Some 500-series programs refer to this data so you should be careful that the relationship between Files 9 and 12 is not altered once M501V1 (or M501SM) has been run. When composites are loaded with M500V1, a reference to File 12 is not normally maintained. Therefore, you will not be able to run some 500-series programs on the loaded File 9.
The mining basis for an open pit operation is the bench height which is defined by a set of elevations at the toe of each bench. The mining basis for an underground operation is the stoping height or height to be drawn in relatively short term mining operations. These heights are also defined by a set of elevations. The mining basis for a stratiform deposit is usually the height of the seam which is defined by elevations at the top and bottom of the mining unit at each point in the deposit. The general functions of the 500-series programs are: Calculate composites from intervals Load existing composites Edit and list composite values Interactive update of selected composite data Standard and user specified reports for file data Preparation of composite maps in plan or section using a plotter or a printer Sort composites to optimize interpolation Point interpolation and kriging to select the best value extension technique Summarize bench composites

Procedure Summary To Create File 9 Composites

1. List the PCF with M101V1 and check the toe elevations if calculating bench composites or check the seam names and codes if calculating seam composites. Initialize File 9 using M102TS. Select the correct type of compositeBENCH if M501V1 is to be used or SEAM if M501SM is to be used. Set up the appropriate run file for M501V1 or M501SM. Test the composite calculations by running the program for just a few drillholes. Make a full production run with the program. Add additional data to the composites (i.e. geology codes) with M505V1, M508V1 or M508RP. List the composite file with M503V1. Plot bench maps or cross-sections with M504V1 and M516V1. Sort the composite data and create File 8 with M506V1.
10. Have the plan and cross-section maps from the M504 and M516 programs been compared with any manually prepared maps? 11. Have engineers/geologists closely associated with the project checked the composite data? 12. Have engineers/geologists closely associated with the project been consulted for their views and opinions concerning: any unreliable data or drillhole data not to be used? any portions of the data that are different from the majority? any differences in sample size, type or recovery? any special characteristics not indicated by grades?

Suggestions For Bench Composite Items

Each M501V1 drillhole composite to be stored in File 9 must have the following items of information with the stated labels after a regular M102TS run: REF# - the drillhole reference number assigned by M201V1 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

Suggestions For Seam Composite Items

Each M501SM drillhole composite to be stored in File 9 must have the following items of information with the stated labels: REF# - the drillhole reference number assigned by M201V1 EAST - the easting at the midpoint of the composite NORTH - the northing at the midpoint of the composite ZTOP - the elevation at the top of the seam ZBOT - the elevation at the bottom of the seam THICK - thickness of the seam SEAM - integer seam codes Labels REF#, EAST, and NORTH must not be changed. The following items should be useful for most projects: FROM - the drillhole distance at the beginning of the seam -TO- - the drillhole distance at the end of the seam 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: WASTE - within seam thickness of waste PRTNG - between seam thickness of waste SPGR - specific gravity HARDG - Hardgrove grindability index FSI - free swelling index ROOF - geologic code for roof lithology FLOOR - geologic code for floor lithology

M500V1-LOAD COMPOSITES INTO MINESIGHT FILES
M500V1 LOAD COMPOSITES INTO MINESIGHT DATA FILES

PROGRAM SUMMARY
This program is used to load composite or blasthole data into a MineSight Data File. The composites may be computed outside MineSight or created by program M507V1.
REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Program M500V1 will read composite data from the run file or a separate file and then load MineSight Data Files 9 and 12, 9 only or 8 only. This allows you to use composites that have been generated outside of MineSight. You may also create an ASCII file of composites from MineSight (with M507V1), modify them and load them back into the composite files with M500V1. The composite data that is loaded should have the following variables present: DH-IDENT - drillhole identifier. Must be no more than 10 characters. System defined format is 10A1. EAST - easting of composite. Format is user defined.
PROGRAM FLOW DIAGRAM

RUN FILE: - Composite labels - Area selection - Composites (optional)
INPUT:
CALCS: - Load composites into File 9 and 12 OR File 8 or 9 only
NORTH - northing of composite. Format is user defined. ELEV. - elevation of composite. Format is user defined. The coordinate variables may be the coordinates of the composite 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. Other data such as grades, geology or seam codes may be loaded for each composite. Data fields that will not be stored must be skipped over with an nX format specification on the FMT1 line 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.
- PCF - ASCII file of composites (optional)
OUTPUT: - Survey File 12 - Composite File 9 - Printer Output file

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

M501SM-COMPUTE SEAM COMPOSITES
M501SM COMPUTE SEAM COMPOSITES FROM DRILLHOLE DATA

PROGRAM SUMMARY
This program is used to compute weighted averages for grades and quality parameters within predefined seams. The items to be composited are specified using ITMn commands in the run file. The correspondence between the File 11 items (assays) and the File 9 items (composites) is also specified on the ITMn lines. Specific drillholes can be selected by using File 12 data unit numbers. By default, all drillholes in File 12 will be composited. A maximum of 14,999 drillholes can be composited in a single run. Multiple runs must be used when the drillhole database exceeds this limit. Any drillhole interval that has been deleted from File 11 (with M202TS) will be ignored by M501SM. NOTE: M501SM has a limitation on the total number of values that can be handled for any one drillhole, which is:
INPUT: - PCF - Files 11 & 12 CALCS: - Composite quality parameters over seams - Limit by litho code

RUN FILE: - Quality & composite labels - Compositing parameters - Seam table
(#Quality Parameters to composite)*(# seams) < 1000 M501SM establishes a linkage between File 9 and File 12. The number of composite data units for a drillhole is stored with the collar data in File 12 (in items #CMPS and LOC09). There is also a linkage between File 11 and File 12. The number of assay data units for a drillhole are stored in File 12 (in items #INTS and LOC11). You should be careful when recompositing data. You should set IOP1=0, IOP2=0, and IOP3=1 when rerunning M501SM to make sure that the composite items for all drillholes in File 12 are updated. 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 file with the line: ITMn = SPLIT label-09 label-11 or ITMn = SPLIT DUMMY label-11 If you specify label-09, the SPLIT code from File 11 will be stored in File 9. Internally, M501SM seam codes are renumbered using the following scheme: seam code = (seam code x 10) + split code However, this new seam code is not stored in File 9.
OUTPUT: - Composite File 9 - Printer Output file
Manually check the M501SM seam composites for completeness and any abnormal values. See the Introduction Section for other checks to be performed. Additional data may be added with M505V1, M508RP or M508V1.

M501SM uses a seam code to control compositing rather than a table of elevations. All drillhole data with the same code is averaged into a single composite, using sample lengths as the weighting factor. An optional geologic item may be used to select specified types of material for the composite averages.

M501SM-COMPUTE SEAM COMPOSITES Handling Different Partings There are two types of parting as shown below.
MineSight Proprietary Software: Mintec, inc. Handling Different Sampling
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 of sampling. Example 1 is a single sample across the full seam and examples 1a and 1b are multiple samples across the full seam. Seam is partially sampled with one or more samples. In this case, FROM and -TO- do not represent the top and bottom of the seam. Examples 2, 2a, and 2b in the diagram illustrate this type of sampling. Example 2 is a single sample representing part or most of the seam. Examples 2a and 2b are multiple samples which represent part or most of the seam. Seam physically splits with one or more samples Examples 3a and 3b illustrate this type of sampling.
With Type 1 (internal length), a separate item is used (e.g., PART) in both File 11 and File 9. The input drillhole data must contain the measured PART. Use the following commands: IOP7 = 0 ITMn = WASTE PART PART Note: Second PART is a File 11 item. With Type 2 (separate, measured intervals), a separate parting item is set up in File 9 only, but File 11 must have a litho code. Use the following commands: IOP7 = 1 / single litho IOP8 = n / n=litho code for coal ITMn = WASTE PARTI TMn = LIMIT LITHO 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. 3. 2.

M501V1-COMPUTE BENCH COMPOSITES FROM DRILLHOLE DATA
M501V1 COMPUTE BENCH COMPOSITES FROM DRILLHOLE DATA

PROGRAM SUMMARY
M501V1 is used to compute weighted average grades (composites) for fixed vertical intervals (benches).

To calculate composites, M501V1 uses the table of bench elevations stored in the PCF to determine which portions of each drillhole fall within each vertical bench. This table of elevations is created by M101V1. The composites are calculated as the length weighted average of all samples that will fall within the bench. An additional weighting factor such as specific gravity may also be specified. The items to be composited are specified using ITMn commands 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 numbers. By default, all drillholes in File 12 will be composited.

RUN FILE: - DH selection - Assay & composite labels - Compositing parameters - Toe elevations table
INPUT: - PCF - Files 11 & 12
CALCS: - Divide assay intervals for elevation table - Calculate weighted average - Calculate midpoint coords - Record DH distances
Drillholes can also be selected by rectangular area or by an irregular boundary. Any drillhole interval that has been deleted from File 11 (with M202FS) will be ignored by M501V1. The composite northing and easting coordinates are calculated at the bench midpoint. The composite elevation is taken at the bench toe.
OUTPUT: - Composite File 9 - Printer Output File
M501V1 is limited to a total of 500 items for both assay and composite files, including limiting items, geology matching items, etc in a single run. M501V1 establishes a linkage between File 9 and File 12. The number of composite data units for a drillhole are stored with this collar information in File 12 (in items #CMPS and LOC09). There is also a linkage between File 11 and File 12. The number of assay data units for a drillhole are stored in File 12 (in items #INTS and LOC11). You should be careful when recompositing data. Set IOP1;IOP2=0 and IOP3=1 when rerunning M501V1 to make sure that the composite items for all the drillholes in File 12 are updated.
Manually check the M501V1 bench composites for completeness and any abnormal values. See the Introduction Section on other checks to be performed. Additional data may be added with M505V1, M508RP, or M508V1.

M501V1-COMPUTE BENCH COMPOSITES FROM DRILLHOLE DATA
FIXED LENGTH COMPOSITES

MineSight can calculate composites in several different ways. You can composite to equal-height bench intervals, variableheight bench intervals, between top and bottom of a coal seam, between hangingwall and footwall of a vein, or by fixed length from the collar of the drillhole. Program M501SM calculates seam composites. Vein composites are calculated usually by a special routine or by M501SM. M501V1 calculates bench composites and fixed-length composites. If you are calculating bench composites, horizontal drillholes present a problem because they do not cross the bench toe or crest. In this case, the drillhole is composited in fixed lengths from the collar. The length is set with PAR10. To determine whether a drillhole is horizontal or vertical (for compositing purposes), use the dip angle as the limiting angle (actually PAR4 is the sine of the dip angle). Any drillhole with a dip less than the limiting angle is treated as a horizontal drillhole. If you use fixed-length composites, make sure you use the proper options in M505V1 and M516V1. For M501V1 and M620V1, the programs will work without the ZMID options but may give slightly different results. The options for M505V1 and M516V1 are needed for the programs to work. Please note that all the options for fixed length composites are in the menu system. NOTE: To compute just fixed length composites with M501V1. Use these four lines in the run-file. IOP11 = 1 /1=Composite fixed length composites from collar / Downhole composite length (** = user supplied value)
NOTE: To add geologic codes to the intervals, include these two lines in M505V1 run-file. PAR2 = ** / Downhole composite length (must match PAR10 in M501V1)
ITMn
DZBOT DEPTH / The keyword is DZBOT and the label can be -to-, depth, from, etc., BUT IT MUST MATCH the label used in M501V1. (for this example it is -TO-)
To store the coordinates of the composite endpoints, add the following line to the run file: CMD = COORD xtop ytop ztop xbot ybot zbot Where: xtop, etc are the appropriate File 9 item labels (in this specified order.) In this case the midpoint elevation is stored in the File 9 item elev..
You can optionally merge small composite intervals to the previous composite. The options include merging all small composites to the previous composite, or merging only small composites at the end of the drillhole to the previous composite. These options are specified using IOP14=1 or 2, together with a PAR12 threshold value.

NOTE: To do bench compositing and fixed length compositing in one pass, use IOP11=2. In this case, the data will be composited by bench, if the sine of the drillhole angle is greater than PAR4, and the data will be composited by fixed length, if the sine of the drillhole angle is less than or equal to PAR4.

M502V1-ADD GRADES TO EXISTING FILE 9 COMPOSITES
M502V1 ADD GRADES TO EXISTING FILE 9 COMPOSITES

PROGRAM SUMMARY
M502V1 adds grades to an existing composite file (File9). The data must be in real numbers.

M502V1 provides a way to update composites in a batch run. Values in the input replace existing values for specified items in File 9. The program limits are:
RUN FILE: - Composite selection - Item selection - Area selection

Maximum of 50 grades Maximum of 525,000 drillholes 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: - PCF - File 9 - File 12 CALCS: - Select data and generate composite report
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 updated. For example, the bh data gets loaded without the 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

Composite Files 8 or 9 can be listed with program M503V1. Listings should always be made after program runs of M502TS and M508V1, so that changes to the data cam be checked closely to other programs. File 9 data can be dumped to an ASCII file for editing or loading to another File 9. M503V1 is used to list specified portions of composites in File 8 or 9. It can be run three ways: List File 9 with DH-IDENTS retrieved from File 12. File 12 must have been updated (M501V1, M501SM) or created (M500V1) at the same time as File 9. List File 9 with data unit numbers on the report. No reference is made to File 12.

RUN FILE: - Composite selection - Item selection - Area selection
INPUT: - PCF - File 8 or 9 - File 12 (optional)
CALCS: - Select data and generate composite report
List File 8 with data unit numbers on the report. No reference is made to File 12. The data retrieval function is controlled by the GET09 command line as shown in the sample run file. Data selection can be made through the use of Range, Omit or Table command lines and by specifying a point boundary (see IOP3).
OUTPUT: - Printer Output File - Optional ASCII Output File - Optional output in csv format

1. When specifying a format (FMT1), make sure you have assigned format fields for DH-IDENT and data unit number if IOP4=0, and REF# and data unit number if IOP4=1. You must also specify a format field for all items on the GET line. If you limit the composite data by ITMn = label-09 RANGE, OMIT or TABLE, the label-09 (or 08) must be specified on the GET line. Check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

M504V1-BENCH PLAN (M122) OF COMPOSITE DATA
M504V1 BENCH PLAN (M122) OF COMPOSITE DATA

PROGRAM SUMMARY
M504V1 is used to prepare an M122 plot file from the composite data. Multiple items of data may be selected for output and placed at any desired position around the location of each composite. M504V1 can also do bench plots of blasthole data. More information can be found in the blasthole documentation.

M504V1 is used to produce bench plans of composites that are stored in File 8 or 9. These plans are used to check the composite data visually. An M122 plot file is created for each bench plotted. Grid and map annotation must be set up independently from the M504V1 run (in the M122 run file). Multiple data items (up to 20) are selected with ITMn commands in the run file. The location of labels relative to the composite location can be specified in terms of inches. The composite values can also be plotted with different pens. The selection of pens is based on a set of grade cutoffs on the first ITMn plotted. Data can be selected on File 8, 9 or 12 data unit numbers or on a specific boundary. If you want to plot the DH-IDENT, then you must access File 12. Data selection can also be made through the use of Range, Omit or Table command lines. M504V1 does not check for the possibility of overplotting. If a graphics monitor is available, you may preview the plot to reveal any conflicts before the final plot is made. The angle of annotation can be changed using PAR4 in the run file, or you can manually edit the output file to resolve any conflicts.

RUN FILE: - DH Selection - Items to plot - Display options
INPUT: - PCF - File 8 or 9
CALCS: - Generate M122 plot commands for composite bench plans
OUTPUT: - M122 plot file - Printer Output file
NOTE: The output file from M504V1 must be processed by M122V1 to create a map.

1. If you wish to plot DH-IDENT, you must specify ITMn = D.H.# 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. 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. Check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix. A10 xoffset yoffset height

M505V1 - ADDITION OF CODES TO COMPOSITE FILES
M505V1-- ADDITION OFCODES TO COMPOSITE FILES
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M505V1 allows the addition of geologic or mining codes to the composite data file from ASCII input or an existing assay file.

M505V1 can be used to add or update geologic/mine codes in File 9 in one of two ways:
access Files 11 and 12, pick up the existing codes and determine a code for the composite using a majority rule, or input a set of data containing drillhole lengths with appropriate codes and determine the majority code for each composite of a drillhole.
RUN FILE:
- Item to update - Dh selection
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 used for seam composites if the From and -To- depths are stored. Drillholes can be selected using the File 12 data unit numbers. The item to be updated is specified on an ITMn line. If File 11 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
INPUT:
- PCF - File 9 (11, 12 opt.) - Optional ASCII input file
CALCS:
- Add geology or mining codes to the Composite 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
M506V1 SORT COMPOSITE DATA FILE
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M506V1 sorts the composite data in File 9 by increasing northings (or eastings) and creates a sorted composite Data File (File 8). It can also be used to sort any other item of data in File 9. M102TS must be run prior to M506V1 to set up the descriptors for File 8. To insure correct results, File 8 descriptors must be exactly the same as File 9.

M506V1 is used to sort composites in File 9 prior to interpolation with the M620-series programs. The efficiency of the interpolation routines will be improved if the composites are sorted on northings. This program should be run after File 9 has been loaded with all required grades and codes. The sorted composites will be loaded into File 8. Normally, the entire File 9 should be sorted (IOP1 & IOP2=0). Set PAR1 and PAR2 to be outside the intended northing search limits for interpolation. For example: PAR1 = YMIN intended max. search distance PAR2 = YMAX + intended max. search distance 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 and 75,000 on all other platforms. If PAR3 cannot be adjusted to meet the above limits, then 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 between PAR1 in the current run and PAR2 from the previous run file is dictated by the precision of the sort item. NOTE: This program should NOT be used for projects with a rotated model.

M507V1-EXTRACT COMPOSITE DATA
M507V1 EXTRACT COMPOSITE DATA
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M507V1 creates a sequential ASCII file from the composite data file.

Data that has already been composited into File 9 may be dumped into an ASCII file for several special purposes such as specialized sorting, for use in other programs, or for transfer to other computers. Once data is in an ASCII file, special editing or changes can be made with the editor on your computer system. You can specify the output format to the ASCII file with the FMT1 line. The first two data fields output from M507V1 include the drillhole reference number (REF#) and the drillhole identifier (DH-IDENT). The reference number should be given an integer format specification (i.e., I5 or I7). The drillhole identifier should be given a 10 character alphanumeric format specification (i.e., 10A1). The next two data fields output normally contain the EAST and NORTH coordinates of the composite in whichever order you specify on the GET line. However, if this data will be used in the interpolation with M620V1, EAST must precede NORTH. Output fields must be in EAST, NORTH, ELEV. order for use in M236V2. NOTE: Composites must have been loaded with the M501 series of programs. Composites loaded with M500V1 cannot be extracted.

M508RP-SPECIAL PROJECT CALCULATIONS
M508RP SPECIAL PROJECT CALCULATIONS
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M508RP accesses a MineSight routine to perform arithmetic calculations using RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) logic specified in the run file. Calculated values may be stored into File 9/8 or 12, but not both.

To run M508RP, specify each calculation as an arithmetic expression in the run file. The calculations can access existing items in File 9/8 or 12 and can also modify items stored in File 9/8 or 12. An example use for M508RP would be to compute an equivalent grade. M508RP is an executable module that is provided by Mintec. It is not linkable like M508V1. Arithmetic expressions are written as standard algebraic statements. For example, in the statement A=B + C, item A will be calculated as the sum of items B & C , where B & C must be retrieved from File 9/8 (or 12) or calculated in a previous expression. Each expression must be contained within 80 columns, and each may contain a combined maximum of 25 item names, real numeric constants, arithmetic operators (+, -, *, **, /) and the following functions: ABS ( ... ) : the absolute value AINT( ... ) : the integer value SQRT( ... ) : the square root ALOG( ... ) : the natural logarithm (base e) EXP ( ... ) : the exponential (the power of e) SIN ( ... ) : the sine function, radian argument COS ( ... ) : the cosine function, radian argument TAN ( ... ) : the tangent function, radian argument SIND( ... ) : the sine function, degree argument COSD( ... ) : the cosine function, degree argument TAND( ... ) : the tangent function, degree argument ATAN( ... ) : the arctangent function DEG ( ... ) : convert radians to degrees MIN ( ... , ... ) : the minimum of the given arguments MAX ( ... , ... ) : the maximum of the given arguments

If any values are to be stored in the composite file, you should make a backup copy of File 9 before running M508RP.

where ( ... ) indicates an argument as a constant, a variable or an expression. To evaluate log to base 10, use the ratio: ALOG(x) / ALOG(10). Data may be selected on the basis of coordinate location (see IOP3) and through the use of standard Range, Omit or Table command lines. REF# is a reserved item and cannot be used in RANGE commands.

M508RP-SPECIAL PROJECT CALCULATIONS PROCEDURE SUMMARY FOR USE OF M508RP 1. Define the arithmetic expression(s) with reference to the item labels of File 9/8 or 12. Prepare the input run file, including I-O=2 for a listing of all items to be used in the run. You should make a copy of the composite file before testing M508RP if data will be stored from the run. 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. Check the results. When M508RP provides satisfactory results, make a full production run setting IOP1 and IOP2 as appropriate and I-O=0. Check output for all drillholes closely, with lists and maps.

HOW TO DEBUG AN M508RP RUN

1. If I-O=2 is specified in the run file, MineSight routines will print a list of all the items in File 9 (or 8 or 12) followed by the items to be used, in the form **MEDITM: FILE SAMPnn.DAT PCF DESCRIPTORS ### ### **MEDITM: ### REF #**MEDITM: ### FROM items in File n **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. 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 will appear. 4. If M508RP 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. Also check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

M508V1-USER INTERFACE FOR COMPOSITE FILES
M508V1 USER INTERFACE FOR COMPOSITE FILES
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M508V1 accesses a user-coded subroutine for special calculations and reports from the composite Data File. Calculated values may be stored into the composite Data File.

M508V1 calls a user-coded FORTRAN subroutine (USR508) to define a geologic code, perform a specified data calculation, or modify the composite interval data previously stored in File 9. Examples of this would be to define a code indicating property ownership or to compute an equivalent grade. The user subroutine is called by the main routine (M508V1) a number of times. A call is always made for initialization. The value of the argument NTRY, determines what action should 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

RUN FILE: - DH selection - Item selection
INPUT: - PCF - File 9 - File 12 (optional)
CALCS: - USR508 initialization - Select a DH and composite - Perform user logic - Optionally store data
NTRY=4 - Call at end of each hole NTRY=5 - Call at end of run 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: - Updated File 9 - Printer Output file
The drillhole reference number (IDHN) is also passed as an argument from the main routine to the subroutine. 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 can be read from or written to an ASCII file.
Manually check the values reported from M508V1 or run M503V1 to list the values. CHECK THE RESULTS CAREFULLY.

M508V1-USER INTERFACE FOR COMPOSITE FILES Procedure Summary for Use of USR508 1. 2. Define the desired calculation and draw a flowchart. Code the subroutine; see the Technical Section explaining the linkage between M508V1 and USR508. Also see the sample subroutine in this section. Compile and test USR508 on a small portion of the composite file (use IOP1 and IOP2). Make a copy of File 9 before testing the routine. When the program runs and produces satisfactory results, make a full production run. Check output for all drillholes closely with list and maps.
MineSight Proprietary Software: Mintec, inc. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the M508V1 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 M508V1 run. Please refer to the Technical 600 section for more information about how to write MINESIGHT user subroutines.

M516V1-CROSS-SECTION OFCOMPOSITE DATA (M122)
M516V1 CROSS-SECTION OFCOMPOSITE DATA (M122)
PROGRAM SUMMARY
This program creates an M122 plot file for 2-D composite crosssections defined by two end points.

To generate a cross-section, two steps are required: Run M516V1 to create the M122 plot commands

Run M122V1 to plot the section
RUN FILE: - DH selection - Selection options - Item selection
Additional steps may be required to add special features such as title blocks, surface topography, etc. These extra features are 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 orientation. Cutting planes on each side of the cross-section are used to limit what drillhole data is selected. You may also select data on the basis of File 12 unit numbers (IOP1 & IOP2). 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.
INPUT: - PCF - File 9 & 12
CALCS: - Generate a file of M122 plot commands for processing by M122
OUTPUT: - M122 Plot file - Printer Output file
Composite values can be labeled on either the right or left-hand side of the drillhole trace. 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
This program creates an M122 plot file for a 2-D cross-section displaying composite intervals without drillhole traces and labels. A section is a volume defined by its endpoint coordinates and a perpendicular distance from the section line.

To generate a cross-section, two steps are required: Run M516V2 to create the M122 plot commands Run M122V1 to plot the section

RUN FILE: - DH selection - Section options - Item selection
File 9 composites must have been loaded with labels for the X,Y,Z coordinates at the top of an interval and at the bottom of an interval, since File 12 is not accessed. Horizontal composites will plot as a tick with a thickness of PAR10 and a label at 90o 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.
CALCS: - Generate a file of M122 plot commands for processing by M122
M516V2 does not detect overplotting on a composite by other composites or closely spaced intervals. If overplotting does occur, the M122 plot file can be edited to remove conflicts. 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 cutoffs. Optionally, the composite intervals may be displayed as ticks or boxes on either side of the drillhole trace. 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.
OUTPUT: - M122 Plot file - Printer Output file
The output file from M516V2 must be processed with M122V1 to plot the map.

M516V2-CROSS-SECTION OFCOMPOSITE DATA (M122) 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 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 East min max " " " " " " " " " " " " " " precision /Start of composite Easting " " " " " " " " /Start of composite Northing /Start of composite Elevation /End of composite Easting /End of composite Northing /End of composite Northing /Midpoint of composite Easting /Midpoint of composite Northing /Toe elevation of composite

M517V1-LOAD VBM CODES TO ASSAY OR COMPOSITE FILES
M517V1 LOAD VBM CODES TO ASSAY OR COMPOSITE FILES

PROGRAM SUMMARY
The program M517V1 loads VBM feature codes to Files 8,9 or 11.

M517V1 assigns codes to assay/composite intervals that are projected inside VBM features. The program can use VBMs with any orientation (including non-orthogonal). The program can automatically read VBM orientation from the VBM file (if you have a new VBM file). You can also specify 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 halfway between planes. You also have an option (IOP30=1) to use the space between two planes (i.e from one bench toe to the next). PAR11 in these cases may be used as the maximum allowed range of influence. Feature codes and equivalent (geologic) codes are generally entered after the END line in a run-file. However, you may 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 feature codes to the same geologic code. You also have an option (IOP12=1) to consider 6-digit codes as 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.

M522V1 - DRILLHOLE SPACING ANALYSIS
M522V1 DRILLHOLE SPACING ANALYSIS
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M522V1 will compute average drillhole spacing by bench based on a given search radius.

M522V1 uses point composite data to calculate average spacing of the drillholes. Best results are achieved if bench composites are used instead of the fixed length composites. The analysis is based on the composite data found within the search radius on each bench. The output in the report file consists of the number of composites used on each bench, the average value of the item used, the mean weighted by the nearest distance, the mean weighted by the average distance, the average distance to the nearest hole, and the average distance of all the holes on that bench. Once all the benches are tabulated, the totals for all benches are summarized. Detailed information for each composite data is written to an ASCII output file specified in 30=<filename> in run file. The information in this file is in the following order:

RUN FILE:
- Interpolation parameters - Search distances or ranges - Controlling & limiting item labels
INPUT:
CALCS:
- PCF - File 8 or File 9
- FInd composites within search window - Match geology codes - Apply limiting factor - Calculate average spacing
OUTPUT:
- Optional Output file for M525TS - Printer Output file - Optional output in csv format for MSDA

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. 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. Do not use composite item labels that conflict with keywords used by the program. If youre using more than one ITM command, number them sequentially, without repetition. 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. 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. 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. 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. ** 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
M523V1 DECLUSTER COMPOSITE DATA
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M523V1 accesses the composite data file and computes the declustered composite values using the cell declustering technique.

M523V1 is used to compute declustered composite data values when two or more data are considerably closer to one another 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 arithmetic mean of the inside data. It can output the declustered values to an ASCII file if IOP7=1. The user specifies the name of the output file in the Names Line as 19=filename. Each composite receives a weight inversely proportional to 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 the declustered data values. The histograms for both data sets are also output. If the declustered data is output to an ASCII file, the program M500V1 can be used to load this data to another File 9 or 8 for storing. 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 be equal to the average spacing of the samples. Too small a cell can result in practically no declustering because each cell may contain no more than one composite. Similarly, too large a cell can result in artificial declustering of the composites which, in fact, should not be declustered. Therefore make a few test runs and study the resulting statistics of the declustered composites before storing the final results.

INPUT: - PCF - File 9 or 8
CALCS: - Find composites within each cell - Compute average cell value - Compute decluster weight

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. 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. 4. If any of the cell size information (i.e., PAR7, PAR8 and PAR9) is not specified, the program will not execute. 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). Also check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

M524V1 POINT VALIDATION FOR INTERPOLATION
M524V1 POINT VALIDATION FOR INTERPOLATION TECHNIQUES

PROGRAM SUMMARY
M524V1 will interpolate each composite from its neighbors by both kriging and inverse distance weighting, and will then summarize the differences from the known composite values.

M524V1 will interpolate point composite data using inverse distance and kriging. The program will compute an estimated grade for a data point using the surrounding data points without including the point itself. This procedure is repeated for all the data points within the search volume. This back-estimation or jackknife estimation is an important step in verifying interpolation parameters. Besides kriging each point, the program will also compute five more estimated grades using different powers of inverse distance (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0). The result for each data point is 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 gaussian. These variograms may consist of a single model or a nested model which is a combination of several different variograms. As many as five variograms are allowed for a nested model. Multiple grades may be interpolated if the same search parameters and variogram model apply to each grade item. COORDINATE PARAMETERS PAR1-3 control the primary coordinate selection of data from File 9 composites or the ASCII composite file. These parameters may come from analyses in geostatistics, preliminary interpolation runs or from deposit experience. 1. The primary coordinate selection is usually based upon the 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. Currently, the maximum number of composites that the program can handle for a single row is 64,000. If this limit is exceeded, the program will stop with an error message.

M524V1 POINT VALIDATION FOR INTERPOLATION USE OF MULTIPLE VARIOGRAMS In general, there are two cases where multiple variograms are used: 1. 2. to specify a different variogram for each item to be kriged 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.

Down b) Section View
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 ITMn = = CARD DATA INPUT SCAN2-D (ASCII Input Data) OR 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 = RY = RX = RZ = Revised: 21-Feb-08 Keyword for the program indicating a 3-D search Search distance (range) in the new north (major-axis) direction Search distance (range) in the new east direction Search distance (range) in the new up direction Page 524-7

The dip is measures as in DIPN) Keyword to specify GSLIB rotation entry Horizontal rotation of north axis Rotation of the north axis hrom horizontal Final rotation around the new north axis Keyword to specify rotation with three points Name of the ASCII file with coordinates of these point
GSLIB = ROT1 = ROT2 = ROT3 = COORD = filename =
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 4. Definition of DIPE, RX and RZ in 3-D 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.

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 CMD or CMD or CMD where = = = = NUGGET nug-value SPH sill-value R1 R2 R3 [ROTN DIPN DIPE] SPH GSLIB sill-value R1 R2 R3 ROT1 ROT2 ROT3 SPH COORD filename R1 R2 R3
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 = sill-value = R1 = R2 = R3 = ROTN = DIPN = DIPE = Keyword for the program for spherical model. Use LIN for a linear variogram or EXP for an exponential. 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. Range in the new north (major-axis) direction Range in the new east direction Range in the new up direction Rotation from the old north axis to the new north axis (clockwise is a positive rotation) Dip of the new north axis measured horizontally (negative dip is plunging down) 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.) Keyword to specify GSLIB rotation entry Horizontal rotation of north axis Rotation of the north axix from horizontal Final rotation around the new north axis Keyword to specify rotation with three points Name of the ASCII file with coordinates of these points.
GSLIB = ROT1 = ROT2 = ROT3 = COORD = filename =
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.

The program allows the interpolation of multiple grades provided that these grades have the same variogram parameters. 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 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 ITMn = = label-15 label09 MATCH MODEL 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. 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 ROTN DIPN DIPE

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 krig items than variograms, the program stops with an error message.

M524V1 can store the estimated grade of a point from kriging and/or the estimation error computed for that point to File 9. Include the following lines in your run file to use this option: ITMn ITMn where = = M524 labl1-09 STORE KRIGE M524 labl2-09 STORE ERROR
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. ALOG KRIGE can be used in place of CALC KRIGE if you need to use the natural logarithms of grades instead of actual grades. At least one ITM to CALC KRIGE or to ALOG KRIGE must be included in each run. STORE KRIGE and STORE ERROR are optional. 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. 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 or ITMn = M524 where label-09 MATCH MODEL (simple match) label-09 MATCH POLYG (assign & match)
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.
Revised: 21-Feb-08

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 CODES v1 v2 ... vn ITMn = M524 label-09 LIMIT where BLOCK LIMIT CODES = Keywords for the program indicating the option for geology limiting v1, v2 ... vn = Numeric values between 1 and 99 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. If an ASCII input is desired, then the following steps are required: 1. 2 3. 4. Include X, Y and Z coordinates (if 3-D interpolation) and a grade item on each line of input. Sort input data by increasing north coordinates. Include 8=CARD in the Names Line of your run file. Also include 19=filename if the data is in a separate file. Include the following line in your run file: ITMn = CARD DATA INPUT SCAN3-D (or SCAN2-D or SCAN1-D) where CARD DATA INPUT = Keywords for the program indicating that input data is in an ASCII file SCAN3-D = Optional keyword indicating a 3-D search (or 2-D or 1-D; default is 3-D) Also include the following lines in your run file: INP8 = REF# EAST NORTH ELEV. value1 ... geol1 ALF1 = REF# COORD COORD COORD CALC ... MATCH FMT1 = (format of input data) where REF#, EAST, NORTH, ELEV. = value1, value2, etc = geol1, etc. = Keywords for the program (not necessarily in this order) Grade items to interpolate Geology items to interpolate
5.
Page 524-14
Revised: 21-Feb-08
The keywords in the ALF1 line match the INP8 line keywords in the following order: REF# > REF# COORD > EAST, NORTH, ELEV. CALC > item to be interpolated MATCH > geology items to be used for matching The correct format to read the data in the order specified should be included in FMT1 line and enclosed by parentheses. 6. 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 where CALC MINn value MINn value
keyword indicates which CALC item from the INP line is being set the minimum value.
For example: INP8 ALF1 CMD = = = REF# REF# CALC EAST NORTH ELEV . TOPO COORD COORD COORD MIN2 7 ROCK CALC
CALC
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. END

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Do not use composite item labels that conflict with keywords used by the program. If youre using more than one ITM command, number them sequentially, without repetition. 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. 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. 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. 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. ** 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.

M525TS-INTERACTIVE EVALUATION OF PT VALIDATION
M525TS INTERACTIVE EVALUATION OF POINT VALIDATION
PROGRAM SUMMARY
M525TS is used to evaluate point validation results from M524V1. The program outputs a statistical analysis of the data and histograms for specified items. It can also be used to analyze any other file of assay or composite data.

M525TS is used to evaluate point interpolation results from M524V1. It can also be used to evaluate other ASCII data. The output consists of statistical analysis of the input data and histograms of the requested items. Either the items alone or the difference between any of the two can be evaluated. If two items are selected, the program generates the statistics for these items and their differences. The program will try to fit 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 or plotter. A scatter graph can be useful to visually display how two items, such as the actual and the estimated grade, compare with each other. If the printer option is used, then the number of samples at each interval is displayed by a number or letter symbol 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, the scatter plot commands are output to a specified file for plotting later with M122V1.

RUN FILE: - Interactive keyboard entry
INPUT: - ASCII file of samples for statistical analysis
CALCS: - Simple statistical analysis - Histogram calculations - Correlation between items - Least square regression
OUTPUT: - M122 plot file - Printer Output file

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. Check the MineSight error messages in the Appendix.

TECHNICAL SECTION 500
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.
Page TEC500-1
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.
Page TEC500-2
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.
Page TEC500-3
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. 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). L09GET is the subscript for the last File 9 GET item. K09PAK is the subscript for the first File 9 PAK item. 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. LOC09 is the base subscript of the current interval data unit and is addressed by B09 (LOC09 + 1). J09 is the current File 9 data unit number. K09 is the first data unit number of interval data for the current survey data unit. L09 is the last data unit number for the current survey data unit.
