Create an Omnidirectional Semivariogram

Create an omnidirectional semivariogram - Promine Banner TOTM

In this TOTM, we use digitized information consisting of samples to create composites to ultimately create an omnidirectional semivariogram. This complex geostatistical method requires the use of a digital database to extract data from, to estimate resources accurately. In this example, we define the lag number, size, and tolerance, and then use the circular fitting […]

Model Surfaces from Digitized Survey Data

Model surfaces from digitized survey data - Promine Banner TOTM

In this Tip Of The Month, we use digitized survey data points to model meshes of a surface and a floor. In this example, we use a CSV file containing the east, north, and elevation coordinates of the points. The information is organized into layers to quickly identify each set of data points and to […]

Model a 3D Drift from digitized information

Model a 3D Drift from digitized information - Promine Banner TOTM

In this TOTM, we use digitized information to model a 3D Drift. The 3D Drift module from Promine allows you to do so using only a 2D contour, and back & floor points. Furthermore, this process allows you to calculate the volume and tonnage for a selected timeline, allowing you to report back accurate tonnage […]

Design Perimeter Holes on Drilling Sections

Design perimeter holes on drilling sections - Promine Banner Tip of the Month

The Drift Drilling and Blasting module offers you the possibility to design perimeter holes on sections. This tool is perfect to ensure a smooth continuation of your horizontal development. To use this, simply select the “Insert” command and select “Perimeter Holes”. This will prompt you to select the hole diameter, length, slope, azimuth and cost. In […]

Drift Drilling and Blasting

Image Post - Banner Promine Blogs

Among the many underground horizontal development methods, Drift Drilling and Blasting is a popular technique used in the mining industry. This process is used in the development stage of underground mining for the development of perimeter drifts, crosscuts, or ramps. It can also be used in the operation phase, where drift faces are blasted to […]

BricsCAD + Promine | Episode 13

✅ The Mining Experience is a live podcast that invites professionals from the mining industry to discuss new technologies, address challenges, and share work experiences.  In this episode, we talked in detail about Promine’s new compatibility: BricsCAD, developed by Bricsys. BricsCAD is a powerful software application for computer-aided design and construction information modeling. The application […]

Promine Compatibility with BricsCAD – Surfaces

Promine compatibility with BricsCAD - Surface - Promine Banner Tip of the Month

The TOTM shows Promine’s compatibility with BricsCAD, a powerful CAD tool developed by Bricsys. The surfaces module allows you to quickly generate 3D surfaces from surveyed data points hassle-free. You may also create 3D faces, which can be easily modified later according to your surface’s variations. Easily compute the volume between surfaces, which is a […]

Design Surface Drill Patterns and Generate Reports

Design Surface Drill Patterns and Generate Reports - Promine Banner Tip of the Month

Design a surface Drill-and-Blast pattern. Using the Drill/Blast Surface module, you can insert many holes at once., which can be done on benches or between 2 surfaces. You may also define what to insert in the drawing, giving you the option to customize the visualization of the drill holes. Finally, customize your drill reports and […]

Create an Orebody and Schedule Mining Blocks

Create an Orebody and Schedule Mining Blocks - Promine Banner Tip of the Month

In this Tip Of The Month, Using a block mode, create a 3D model of a given grade value from a block model. Then, using the stope design module, divide the model into parts to schedule mining blocks for each part. Using the Mine Planning module, customize a mining block and schedule each part of […]
