Course Description

This work/process will entail ensuring the block model has attributes in their right format e.g. no negative block grades, no negative densities, confirm blocks of measured, indicated, inferred, and any undefined block classification, etc.

Course Outcomes

It is expected that the student at the end of the course will be able to:

  1. identify anomalies in the block model
  2. correct these anomalies by deleting or recreating a new attribute to restore the model integrity
  3. appreciate the essence of validating a block model so as to have a problem-free pit optimization process
